Preparation
  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Add vegetable oil and massage it into the chicken until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place wings in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Flip wings and cook for 10 more minutes.
  3. Dip wings into the sauce mixture and stir to coat.
  4. Return wings to the air fryer basket and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Coat wings in the sauce again. Return to the air fryer basket and cook for 2 more minutes.

Notes

These wings are best served hot right out of the air fryer. Pair with extra sauce for dipping, crispy vegetables, or a simple salad. Perfect for game day or family dinners.
