Air Fryer Whole Chicken Wings

I totally love these 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.

You’ll love cooking whole wings in the air fryer because they come out just as good as if they were separated, but you’ll save so much time not having to cut them into pieces!

Chicken wings are great for an easy appetizer, a potluck party, or even dinner! Use my homemade ranch seasoning to make a ranch dipping sauce!
