Today I'm sharing these crispy air fryer chicken wings made with simple ingredients, completely skipping the traditional deep fryer. They just need flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper: an easy seasoning combo that delivers loads of flavor with zero fuss. They're a fantastic option for a casual weeknight dinner or to share when you have friends over; with one kilo of wings you'll easily serve two.

To ensure these air fryer breaded wings turn out perfectly golden and crisp, make sure you coat them with just a thin layer of flour and leave plenty of space between each piece in the basket. Prep takes just 10 minutes and cooking about 25, though that can vary depending on the size of the wings and your specific machine. Feel free to tweak the spices and adjust them to your liking.

Tips and tricks for making crispy breaded chicken wings in the air fryer

You can use any spices and herbs you love to give this recipe your own personal spin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this recipe with frozen chicken wings?

Yes, but for this breaded version I strongly recommend thawing them first in the fridge and patting them completely dry before tossing them in flour. The cooking time listed is for fresh wings; make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 74ºC.

How can I make these breaded wings gluten-free?

Swap the all-purpose flour for rice flour or your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Always check the labels on your spices and use clean utensils to avoid cross-contamination.

How do I store and reheat leftover wings?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge within two hours of cooking, and eat them within 3-4 days. To bring back their crispy crunch, reheat them in the air fryer in a single layer without crowding, until heated through.
