Air Fryer Whole Chicken Wings

I totally love these air fryer whole chicken wings that I cooked in the air fryer. If you’re a return reader to the blog, you’ll know that the first time I made chicken wings in the air fryer I cut my finger when I separated them into drums and flats.

On a serious note, these chicken wings came out so crispy and juicy. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
