To cook chicken wings in an air fryer, the typical cooking time ranges from about 15 to 24 minutes depending on temperature and wing size:
- At 400°F, cook wings for about 15 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness
- At around 370-390°F, wings take approximately 20 to 22 minutes, flipping once or twice during cooking. Increasing temperature to 400°F in the last few minutes helps achieve extra crispy skin
- For larger wings or extra thorough cooking, total time may extend to 23-24 minutes, starting at a lower temperature (e.g., 360°F) then finishing hotter (390-400°F) to render fat and crisp the skin
- Wings should be flipped at least once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption
In summary, air fryer chicken wings generally take about 15 to 24 minutes depending on temperature and wing size, with flipping halfway through and a final crisping at higher heat recommended for best results
