- Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400F/ 200C. I cooked the wings in the air fryer.
- Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket (or a baking rack if using the oven). It doesn't matter if they are touching as long as they are not overlapping.
- Air fry the chicken wings for a total of 25 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy, flipping it halfway through the cooking time.
