How Do You Get Breading To Stick To Chicken Wings?
The blend I use to make the flour mixture for these chicken wings is a combination of flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
The smoked paprika gives it such a great flavor paired with the garlic and makes an awesome base for added sauces later.
You can also use lemon pepper seasoning instead, or really any other dry rub that you like.
Note that if you use garlic salt and not garlic powder, adjust the salt accordingly.
How To Make Breaded Chicken Wings
Follow these directions to make this delicious air fryer recipe:
- Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour in the oil and then toss to coat the wings well.
- In a separate bowl, add dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
- One at a time, place oiled wings in the dry mixture and coat with breading, then place each wing on in the air fryer basket.
- Set your air fryer to 400F and cook for 20 minutes flipping half way through.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken wings have reached an internal temperature of 165F, and the breading is brown and crunchy before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Flipping the wings halfway through the cooking cycle will ensure you get lovely, extra crispy chicken wings. Remember that the inside of the Air Fryer will be hot so use tongs or a fork to flip the wings halfway through.
If you do this as directed, you will get such crispy wings, you won't believe they weren't deep-fried wings.
It's best to keep your Air Fryer Chicken Wings in a single layer while cooking them. The way the Air Fryer works means it will need space to circulate the air inside the appliance. So if all the wings are stacked, they won't get crispy.
If you need to, cook the wings in two batches.
One of my favorite things to do when cooking chicken in an Air Fryer is to toss it in hot sauce. But here's the thing to know..
Take the crispy chicken wings after they are almost all the way cooked, straight from the air fryer, and toss the wings in your sauce of choice, and then put them back into the air fryer to allow the sauce to glaze over them.
Do NOT cook the raw wings with hot sauce or on them. You need them dry, so you get crispy chicken wings.
Here are some serving options to consider for your air fried chicken wings.
You can use your favorite wing sauce.
Make the sauce I use for my Korean Chicken Wings.
You can also use the buffalo wing sauce that I used for my spicy cauliflower recipe.

A blue cheese dip or just use chunks of blue cheese smashed into some sour cream or ranch dressing
Use Barbecue sauce for an easy dipping sauce.
Tips And Tricks
Here are a few things I can tell you that you will NOT need to get the best breaded chicken wings--and I know this because I tried all of them.
I found it entirely useless to use baking powder, baking soda, or corn starch. Air frying dries the wings just fine without them. Similarly, there is zero need for olive oil or any kind of cooking spray. Chicken wings have more than enough fat without all that.
This chicken recipe is perfect to serve as an appetizer with a dip. You can also serve them as a main course along with my rosemary roasted potatoes, apple zucchini salad or with a side of cauliflower rice.
- Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Fry them in two batches if needed.
- Be sure to flip the wings during cooking.
- You can reheat leftover wings in the air fryer. Cook them at 360°F for 4 minutes. Turn the heat to 400°F and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Want to make these crispy chicken wings into hot wings? Simply remove from the air fryer, and toss with your favorite hot sauce.
Can I Cook Frozen Wings In The Air Fryer?
Can you? Yes.
Are they as good as unfrozen wings? No.
Are they still spectacular? Yes, actually they are.
Here's the small issue I found. To get the crispiest, fried chicken texture, you need the wings to be as dry as possible.
With frozen wings, they have so much moisture from the ice crystals, that by the time you've dried off the moisture, your wings are a teeny bit overcooked.
Of course, frozen wings won't take any type of breading or dry rub at all, so there's also that.
But one of the advantages of Air Fryer Wings is that the moisture dissipates faster than in the oven, due to the hot air circulating. So it's not the worst thing in the world--and it's a lot better than no chicken wings!
How To Make Chicken Wings From Frozen
If you want to use frozen chicken wings in your air fryer instead of fresh ones, here are a few things to try:
- Let the frozen chicken wings defrost as much as you can. Then, use a paper towel to thoroughly dry them, and then proceed as directed.
- If you have the time and the patience, put the frozen wings in a ziptop bag. Add a few paper towels to soak up moisture. Place the bag in some warm (but NOT hot) water. This way, the wings stay dry, but defrost a little faster.
- You can also defrost them in the microwave but I had very uneven results when I did this, with some hot and cold spots.
- Defrost in the fridge overnight.
- Use an air fryer and don't worry about it 🙂 As I said above, air fryer chicken wings are pretty spectacular anyway.
How Long Do They Last?
These chicken wings are best enjoyed the day theyr're made or the day after. Too far after that, the breading on the outside becomes too soggy, even when reheating the proper way in the air fryer.
If you're not concerned about the texture of your wings, they can last up to 4 days after they are initially made.
