Air Fried Hot Wings

I love hot wings. And I like them crispy – the kind of crispy you just can’t get from the oven. So I bought and air fryer. I’ve been wanting one and wanted to see how they work. It took a few tries, but when I finally got it!

I have to say, these are the best hot wings I’ve EVER made!! The draw back is that the basket is small. You have to cook in batches. But it’s worth it!

Here’s How to Do it:

Start by mixing the salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the wings liberally with the mixture.

Next, spray the wings on both sides with olive oil. I have a reusable spray bottle to spray the oil.

Heat the fryer to 400° – Place wings in a single layer and cook for 12 minutes.

Turn and cook another 12 minutes.

Remove from the fryer and toss them in Frank’s Wing Sauce and cook again for 5 minutes per side. (this is the part that makes them hot wings!)

Serve with blue cheese and/or ranch and celery.
