- In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (if using).
3. Bread the Wings:
- Dip each chicken wing first into the flour mixture, coating it evenly, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Wings:
- Lightly spray or brush the breaded chicken wings with olive oil to help them crisp up.
- Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them for the best results. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
6. Serve:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, blue cheese, or hot sauce.
Tips:
- Extra crispy: For even crispier wings, spray them with a little more oil halfway through the cooking process.
- Flavor variations: You can add different seasonings or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture, such as Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Cooking time: Cooking times can vary slightly depending on the size of the wings and the model of your air fryer. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they’re fully cooked.
These Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Wings are perfect for game day, parties, or any time you’re craving crispy, flavorful wings without the hassle of deep frying. Enjoy!
