Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry before coating them in the seasoning blend. This will help the seasoning adhere better to the wings.
• For extra crispy wings, you can spray the coated wings with cooking spray before placing them in the air fryer.
• If you prefer milder wings, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the seasoning blend.
• To make the wings spicier, you can add a pinch of chili powder or hot sauce to the seasoning blend.
• These wings are best served immediately for maximum crispiness.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the wings, place them in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through and crispy again.
• Serve the air fried wicked wings as an appetizer at parties or as a main dish with a side of coleslaw and fries.
