how long to air fry wings

For typical chicken wings in an air fryer, plan on about 20–25 minutes total at around 380–400°F (193–204°C), making sure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).

Quick Scoop

Here’s a reliable, simple timing guide for how long to air fry wings :

• Preheat air fryer to 380–400°F (193–204°C).

• Pat wings very dry and season as you like. (Dry skin = crispier texture.)

• Arrange in a single layer (a little touching is fine, but don’t pack them tight).

Basic cook times

• Standard wings (party wings, not huge):
  • 8 minutes at 400°F, flip or shake.

* Another 8 minutes at 400°F (about 16 minutes total) until golden and crisp.

• Extra crispy method:
  • 18–20 minutes at ~360–380°F, shaking or flipping halfway.

* Then 5–6 minutes more at 390–400°F to really crisp the skin (about 23–25 minutes total).

Size-based timing (rough guide)

• Small wings: about 15–18 minutes total.

• Medium wings: about 18–20 minutes total.

• Large wings: about 20–22 minutes total.

Always check doneness with a thermometer: the thickest part of the wing (not touching bone) should read at least 165°F (74°C). If you want them crispier after that, just add 2–3 minutes more.

Note: Air fryers vary a bit, so the first time you cook wings, start on the shorter end of these times and add a few minutes as needed.
