Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Wings
Crispy breaded chicken wings made really easily in the air fryer. Juicy on the inside, crispy golden brown on the outside and no oil is used! Great for any occasion!
Equipment
- Air Fryer (affiliate link)
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 450 g chicken wings about 8 wings (either drums or flats)
Slurry
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Breading
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked or normal)
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C
- Combine all of the ingredients for the breading (flour, thyme, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper) together in a large shallow bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Mix together the ingredients for the slurry (Greek yogurt, water, salt and cayenne pepper) together in a separate bowl, until the slurry is an even consistency.
- Dip each wing into the slurry and then fully coat in the breading (Note 1). Set aside on a plate until all of the wings have been coated in the breading.
- Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer. Try not to overcrowd the air fryer and cook in batches if you need to.
- Cook the wings for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, or cook until the wings are crispy, golden brown and cooked through.
- Let wings cool for a few minutes before serving warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- I find it easiest to use 1 hand for the slurry and 1 hand for the breading. This prevents a batter forming on your fingers.
