Chicken wings in the air fryer has got to be the easiest recipe I’ll ever share on my blog. Can you even really call it cooking? I’m not so sure. You be the judge!
Chicken Wings In The Air Fryer Recipe!
Like many other people out there, I got an Air Fryer for Christmas! Well, actually I got mine during Thanksgiving week at Target who had marked the Instant Pot Air Fryer down significantly for Black Friday and I decided to buy myself an early Christmas present. I’m so glad I did!
You all know how much I love my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Like LOVE IT! So when Instant Pot came out with their Air Fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus 7-in-1 Air Fryer, I knew for sure I had to have it. I waited months for it to go on sale and when I saw that sale tag on it, my heart just about skipped a beat. Actually, it was my husband who saw it first and even he danced a little happy dance at the price tag. And it was the last one on the shelf so of course we had to get it.
The first thing I made were these Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer and duuude….I can’t even tell you how good these turned out! I was amazed at how crispy the outside was and yet so juicy on the inside. It was shocking to see all the oil and fat drip down to the pan. Yikes!
It’s safe to say, this is the healthier and less messy way of making “fried” chicken!
