Print Recipe

These air fryer chicken wings go straight from the freezer to crispy and juicy in no time, no thawing required. I tested this method several times to take all of the guesswork out of it for you. As someone who’s always juggling a million things, I’m all about quick meals that actually taste good.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound frozen chicken wings (Drums and flats)
  • Chicken rub (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. I like to allow the wings to thaw on the counter for 15 minutes prior to air frying, just so that it’s easy to remove the packaging. If the packaging is frozen and stuck on, you will have trouble.
  2. Place the frozen wings in the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 6 minutes on 400 degrees.
  4. Open the air fryer basket and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break apart the chicken. You may need to air fry it for a few additional minutes if 6 minutes isn’t long enough for you.
  5. Air fry the wings for an additional 4 minutes on 400 degrees.
  6. Open the basket and season both sides of the wings.
  7. Air fry on 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
  8. Open the basket and flip the wings.
  9. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes on 400 degrees or until the wings have reached your desired level of crispiness, and an internal temperature of 165 degrees. The amount of wings you use and the air fryer brand and model you use may alter the cooking time. If you use more wings, allow a longer cooking time and check in on the wings to monitor doneness.
