Ingredients

1.5 pounds frozen chicken wings 8-10 wings
Salt and pepper to taste

Honey mustard dipping sauce:

¼ cup dijon mustard
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup honey

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400F. If you do not have a preheat button then set your Air fryer to 400 and wait for 4-5 minutes for it to heat up.
Place frozen chicken wings in there for 5 minutes. Do not worry if the wings are clumped up together.
Drain excess liquid at the bottom tray if any.
The wings will start to loosen up and separate , turn them to the other side and air fry on 400F for another 5 minutes.
Now you should be able to fully separate the wings.
Separate wings and spread them over in your airy fryer basket.
Sprinkle wings with salt and pepper on one side.
Air fry on 400F for 8-10 minutes.
Flip to the other side using kitchen tongues, season with salt , pepper and your favorite seasoning, if you would like to, then air fry again for another 8-10 minutes.

To make the honey mustard dipping sauce:

In a bowl whisk together the sauce ingredients until smooth and lump free.

To serve:

Serve crispy wings with celery sticks and honey mustard sauce or your favorite dipping sauce like blue cheese dip, BBQ sauce, ranch, sweet and sour..etc

Notes

Flipping the wings every now and then is something necessary if you are using an air fryer oven. If using one with basket you just need to shake it every 5 minutes or so.
If using fresh chicken wings that are already thawed then start after step 5.
Air frying on 8 minutes makes the wings crispy but I’ve found that 10 minutes is better for extra crispy wings.
Air fryers are different so until you get used to yours you better check it 2 minutes before the suggested cooking time ends.
Your air fryer may smoke especially when cooking fatty food or if you are cooking multiple batches. If this starts to happen just add a couple of tablespoons of water or a piece of bread in the dripping pan or at the bottom of your air fryer. Please refer to your manual for safety and proper use.
This is a basic recipe with just salt and pepper for more flavor feel free to more seasonings of choice. Chicken all purpose seasonings are great for this recipe.
Storage:
- Store any left over wings in a container in your fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat wings simply air fry them for 2-3 minutes each side on 400F as well.
- Nutritional values are calculated for the wings only.
