Notes

I have found the sweet spot of cooking to be around 16 minutes.
Thicker wings will take longer to cook, so you may need to adjust your air fry cook time by a couple of minutes.
Keep in mind that there are many different models of air fryers on the market, 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.

Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
