Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken wings split into flats and drums
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Gently rinse your chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towels.
  • Place the chicken pieces into a mixing bowl.
  • Pour the oil over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the garlic salt over the chicken, then toss the chicken to coat evenly.
  • Place parchment paper or foil in the bottom of your air fryer basket. (This will allow for easier cleanup.)
  • Place the chicken into the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the chicken at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken wings and cook for another 8-10 minutes.
  • In the last 2-3 minutes, open the air fryer basket and generously spray the chicken with cooking oil to help crisp them. (optional)
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the air fryer basket and place them into a bowl.
  • Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • I have found the sweet spot of cooking to be around 16 minutes.  
  • Thicker wings will take longer.
  • Air Fryers vary, so cooking times and temperatures might vary slightly.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
