Before you start
The air fryer is our favourite way to cook chicken wings – no messing around with deep frying but achieving that same evenly cooked, crisp texture (something conventional ovens struggle with). It’s also so quick! Because chicken wings contain more fat than the breast or leg, they ‘fry’ perfectly in an air fryer. We’ve kept the seasoning simple for a reason – ground spices tend to burn in the fierce heat, so it’s best to introduce more flavour via a glaze, which you can toss with the wings at the last minute.
Don’t waste the wing tips. Save them in the freezer for stock and/or your Christmas gravy.
