My latest creation - air fried chicken wings

I am not a wing person, I don't eat chicken skin and I'm not into 'hot/spicy' foods...but my husband likes everything hot and spicy. I found a recipe in the air fryer cookbook and proceeded to give it a try.
While my husband was outside cooking my chicken on the grill, I was busy inside cooking his chicken in the air fryer. Now that's teamwork in reverse LOL.
First I seasoned the wings as called out in the recipe, then gave them a little spray with Pam then into the fryer for about 20 minutes, stopping a few times to shake the basket.
Once they were cooked I put them in a covered container, added a store bought (Hot) wing sauce. I cooked two pounds, he ate one pound and the other pound is in the freezer. When the time comes to eat them I can put them back in the air fryer.
I am loving my new toy!
Photo is mine - it is the wings straight out of the fryer.

What is an air fryer? How does an air fryer work? Have you been asking yourself about how Air Flyer works? Do you worry about the health of Air Flyer? WORRY no more. The answers are apparent and self-explanatory. You have landed on the right page that answ

So easy, and not a big fryer with oil to deal with.

He did, he said if I had only made wings and nothing else he would have eaten the whole two pounds.

That does look tasty. My husband likes wings hot and spicy. I like them more mild.

You use very little oil. I air fried 3 big potatoes and used 1/2 teaspoon of oil.

sounds healthy with very minimal oil. does the air fryer have to be cleaned after each use?

Yes it has to be cleaned, but the basket is non-stock so very easy to wipe clean.

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, I keep the wings about 40 minutes in the oven.

@LadyDuck I did these in 20 mins. Of course, when you get right down to it - I have a convection oven which is basically what the air fryer is so I could do stuff like that in the oven. But I like new 'toys'.

That's pretty much the same thing but in a smaller 'oven' and less time to cook.

is it healthier, or just easier to use? or both?
@AbbyGreenhill (45494)

well, how much oil do you use to deep fry stuff? Lots...how much to do this 1/2 teaspoon. So the answer is 'both'....

Would love to know if it made them crispy or not- i'm afraid to buy one for that reason- And what would happen with homemade chips?
@AbbyGreenhill (45494)

Yes it makes them crispy - that's the point of the machine. The longer you cook them the crispier they get. I cut the potaotes, soaked them in cold water, dried them, air fried them. This is not the best photo - but those 'fries' are crisp.

@AbbyGreenhill thanks I've been looking at those machines and wondering if they really do as they say! Now I'm even more interested!

I don't have an air fryer at home. But I have an oven. I think it can also work. I just wonder whether I can make it as well as yours

I'll tell you the truth - I was a non-believer but decided to try it....I am quite glad I did. I love that machine!

You might be shocked to learn there is now an air fryer for sale at Aldi's store. Not like what you have we are sure, but for $60, it might make someone happy.

Those wings do look good even though I'm not much of a wing person either. I'm sure the men in my family would scoff those wings down in a second

That was just 1/2 pound and my husband had no problem scoffing down a whole pound.
