This 30 Minute Meal will give you the best wings with crispy skin and a delicious sauce! Chimichurri Air Fryer Chicken Wings are super easy to make at home and a healthier option!

With no added oil, these wings are a healthier version of fried chicken wings. However you won't miss any of that crispy goodness! Chicken wings are perfect for the air fryer.

Making Wings In An Air Fryer

Making your chicken wings in an air fryer is definitely my new favorite way to prep them. It gives you the crispiest skin with no extra frying oil.

  1. how long to air fry chicken wings? I air fry my wings for 20 minutes total or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  2. how many wings can fit in an air fryer? I was able to fit about 6 wings at a time in my air fryer basket. This will depend on your make and model of air fryer.
  3. PRO TIP! This is my tip for the crispiest wings. Cook them on a little bit lower temperature for the first 15 minutes then bump it up to crisp it to perfection for the last 5 minutes.

Chimichurri Chicken Wing Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Homemade Chimichurri Sauce

Can You Cook Frozen Wings In An Air Fryer?

Absolutely! Just cook them for 20 minutes on the lower temperature and then cook them on a higher temperature for the last 5 minutes. For a total of 25 minutes.

Cooking frozen wings in the air fryer is an extremely convenient way to have restaurant style wings right at home.

Other Sauces For Crispy Chicken Wings

Crispy chicken wings are delicious with almost any sauce you could dream of. I especially love...

  • Buffalo Sauce
  • Ranch or Blue Cheese
  • Chili Onion Crunch Spicy Oil
  • BBQ Sauce

Tips on Using An Air Fryer For Wings

The biggest tip I have for getting those perfectly crispy wings in the air fryer is to cook them on a lower temperature for the first 15 minutes then amp up the heat and crisp all that rendered fat!

By doing it at a lower temperature we are melting all the fat in the skin and bringing it to the top.

Crank up the heat and use that fat to our advantage to "fry" the skin of the chicken. No extra oil necessary!

What If I don't Have an Air Fryer?

If you don't have an air fryer you could definitely do this in the oven.

You'll need a baking sheet with a cooling rack placed on it.

Simply place the the wings evenly spaced apart on the cooling rack that is on top of the cookie sheet. This helps air circulate all around the chicken wings.

Using the convection bake setting on your oven, bake at 350 for 15 minutes then 425 for the last 5 minutes. Enjoy!
