Description
Delicious and crispy air fryer chicken wings marinated for maximum tenderness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2–3 pounds whole chicken wings
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Chicken Rub Seasoning (to taste)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- cooking oil (I use olive oil)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with the buttermilk. For best results, cover and store the chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes to 3 hours. This will tenderize the chicken. I typically marinate for an hour minimum, you can go up to overnight.
- Combine the flour, chicken seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken. Stir and mix well.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour and seasonings. Ensure both sides of the chicken are fully coated. Use a spoon to get areas of the chicken wing that were missed.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Add the chicken wings to the air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary. Spray the chicken with cooking oil.
- Cook for 20 minutes on 400 degrees. Stop and flip the chicken every 5 minutes, a total of 4 times.
- Use a meat thermometer and ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Add additional time if you prefer the chicken is crisper.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to use split wings if you wish.
- The wings can be marinated overnight for the best flavor.
