Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings
Read First: Cook frozen, no need to thaw first. Wings all vary significantly in size, coating, pre-cooked or raw & sauced or not. Size of the wings and your particular air fryer model will affect timing the most. Adjust as needed. The wings will cook a little different depending on if the wings are raw frozen or pre-cooked then frozen. Raw (un-breaded) and raw and breaded frozen wings will cook fairly similar. The pre-cooked frozen are often sauced and/or breaded. They usually cook a bit better with slightly less heat.Some air fryers cook much hotter than others. Adjust as needed after cooking your first batch.
