Category: Homemade Sauces and Seasonings

The temperature outside dropped below 50F and my thoughts turned to Thanksgiving. I can’t help it. I was definitely looking forward to roasting a turkey in my oil-less fryer. But then, I thought, I love wings. How about taking that wonderful turkey seasoning and putting it on a batch of wings too? “Brilliant!” I exclaimed. So I made some Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings and by golly, the holiday came early! Not only did these wings taste great, they made the house smell fantastic too!

Back For Seconds

I made these Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings two days in a row. I had to. They were great. I’ll let you in on a little modification that makes them even more Thanksgiving-y. I seasoned the wings upfront, like the recipe states. And I seasoned them when they were done, also like it states. But I also snuck in another round of seasoning. Before the last 6 minute cook, where the air fryer temp is increased to get that great crunchy skin, I placed the wings into a bowl and seasoned them some more. Back into the air fryer they went. Boy, were they ever finger-licking good!

Servings: 2

Calories: 13kcal

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 6 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the seasoning mix

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon dried mustard
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon celery seed
• ¼ teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

• Combine all of the seasoning ingredients.
• Sprinkle about half of the seasoning over the wings. Get them well-coated. Use less if you want, or more.
• Cover the wings and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation.
• Toss the wing flats and drumettes with the seasoning.
• Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
• Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
• Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
• Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
• Remove wings to a bowl and sprinkle with more of the seasoning. Toss to coat.
• Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
