It's the dream, isn't it? Eating crispy fried wings without the guilt of eating fried food? Thanks to the wonders of modern kitchen appliance technology, you can use the super-heated whirlwind of air in your air fryer to turn chicken wings delectably crunchy without the mess, grease, and calories of traditional deep-frying. Here's a tip: For the crispiest results, leave space between the wings so the air can circulate and crisp up every bit of every wing. This might mean you air-fry in batches. Nothing wrong with that if it gives you the crunch you crave. Here are eight great air fryer chicken wing recipes for you to try.
