How Long To Cook Chicken Wings In Air Fryer

I have done chicken wings in the air fryer several times and in a few different air fryers. Cook time is always the same. For crispy wings on the dry side, around 25 minutes flipping halfway is ideal. For juicy wings with a little crunch 18-20 minutes is great. Don’t stack the wings but you can crowd them side by side.

Do You Put Dry Rub On Wings Before Or After Cooking?

In this recipe add all of your dry rub seasoning before. Now, you could wait until they are done cooking to season as well but I suggest adding before just due to how I prepared them.
