These Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings were cooked in my Power Air Fryer Oven. I was given a complimentary appliance by TriStar to try Power Air Fryer recipes but all opinions are my own.
This lucky Jersey Girl has another appliance to test in my kitchen. I am loving it and one of the main reasons is that my husband and teenage son love it too. They have been making batches and batches of chicken wings.

Why use a Power Air fryer Oven?
There are many reasons to like the Power Air Fryer Oven. The oven is versatile, simple and many recipes can be prepared quicker than with a traditional cooking method. It works as an air fryer, rotisserie oven and dehydrator. I have not used it as a dehydrator yet but plan to try that soon. The simple design and pre-set cooking functions are perfect to have my teenager do some cooking. This appliance fits perfectly on my countertop even though I was concerned about space before I received it.
Sunday is for football and food at our house. Since the Power Air Fryer Oven arrived, my son has taken the initiative to make his own wings. He cooks the chicken wings while I make the finishing sauce. The wings are coated with seasoned salt and flour before they are cooked. My son places them in the oven and most of the work is completed.
They come out of the Power Air Fryer Oven and are tossed in a combination of melted butter, hot sauce and maple syrup. It’s the sweet and spicy combination that we love. Our favorite sauce is this one, however, the wings can be tossed in whatever sauce you like. I also serve the Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings with blue cheese dressing. This is a perfect recipe on any game day. In fact, my family loves chicken wings so much, that I created a Buffalo Chicken Flatbread with Bacon that is like Buffalo wings on a pizza. Mmmmm, so good!
What else can you cook in the Power Air Fryer Oven?
I plan to use the Power Air Fryer Oven to make more chicken wings but also many other recipes. I think I might need to try my Baked Buffalo Cauliflower in my air fryer next. I have made many vegetables like asparagus and eggplant in this air fryer instead of using my oven. They are super healthy and GOOD! Feel free to give me some suggestions.

You show the air fryer oven but the recipe is for the fryer XL not the oven. What is the difference between the two
Hi Robert. The Power Air Fryer Oven is the latest model so the instructions are similar for all models. The main difference is in sizes and the oven has more features than the other models have.
My air fryer oven does not have a basket so do I cook the wings on the mesh shelves?
Yes, Joan. The mesh shelves are perfect. Spray them with a little cooking spray so the wings don’t stick.
This looks so easy! What a great football snack
Oh my goodness!! My hubs would LOVE these! Looks delicious
My friend has an air fryer and I love it! Oh, and chicken wings are my new obsession! Once I get my own air fryer, I will be in wing heaven!
I really need to get an air fryer. Those wings look delicious!
That’s it. I’m getting an air fryer 🙂 lol these wings look delicious 🙂
My air fryer oven comes with a rotating basket. Have you tried to use that to make the wings?
I have been wondering the same thing. I just got my Power AirFryer Pro Plus today and am curious which turns out better and how many wings I could put in the rotating basket.
I don’t use the rotating basket for wings but I’m sure you could. I would make sure they are spaced out and secured tightly.
Do you have ro ler your chicken thawed
Hi Lesley. Yes, I would thaw the chicken first to get the wings extra crispy. To thaw them quickly, do it in the microwave or in a pot of cold water then dry them with paper towels.
i have been wanting to get an air fryer! You have convinced me! Those wings look amazing! Crispy and delicious! I didn’t realize how crispy they will be using the air fryer.
Genius! I never even thought of putting wings in the air fryer. They turn out great!
I’m using my power air fryer pro oven right now for the first time, cooking wings! I’m praying they turn out. When you say “ turn them over half way thru and cook for another 8 min” is this after the first 25? Or half wY through the 25-turn them, then finish the time before doing another 8? I’m confused sorry lol
Jen
Hi Jen,
Cook them for 12 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 12 minutes. Then cook for 8 more minutes.
Good luck,
Lisa
This confused me to. after you turn over cook for the 12 mins do you turn over again and cook for 8 mins or just turn the one time and cook a total of 20 mins(12+8=20) after turning???
It depends what air fryer you have. But to make things simple cook for 20 – 25 minutes at 400 (turning once in the middle of cooking). You can cook more or less depending on how crispy you want them.
This is perfect game watching food and the air fryer makes it so easy! I love that you used maple syrup too!
I’m really looking for an air fryer so it’s so helpful to see yours in action and to see you can make awesome wings!
Your version sounds really so good! I need to try it!
This will be a big hit at my house!
Made this for the Super Bowl. So easy and really good. I didn’t use Maple Syrup, didn’t have any. Just used Wing sauce. I will be making these a lot. Thanks for a great recipe.
Glad you liked them! We make them again and again!
