Notes

Recipe was made in an oven-style air fryer, but can be made in any air fryer with racks. For smaller basket-style air fryers, cook wings in batches or according to manufacturer's instructions.
Cook time may vary depending upon size and thickness of wings.
For frozen wings, cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Precooked wings take about 10 to 15 minutes.
