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.

  4. 4

    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.

Worth knowing. Sauce burns — add more sauce AFTER air frying, not before.
