Chicken Wings (pre-cooked / buffalo) in the Air Fryer

Cook frozen chicken wings (pre-cooked / buffalo) straight from the freezer at 390°F (200°C) for 10-14 minutes. No thawing. Brand notes included.

390°F for 10 to 14 minutes, shake at 6.

1. 1

   Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.

2. 2

   Spread the frozen chicken wings (pre-cooked / buffalo) in a single layer straight from the bag.

3. 3

   Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket at 6 minutes so nothing fuses together.

   Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
