Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings (thawed if frozen)
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes before adding the wings.
- Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle them evenly with salt for seasoning.
- Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each wing to ensure even cooking. Cook for 12 minutes.
- Flip the Wings: Flip the wings over to the other side and continue cooking for an additional 12 minutes at the same temperature.

- Toss with Sauce: Remove the wings from the air fryer and immediately toss them with your favorite sauce of choice. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Drying the wings thoroughly before cooking helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crisping.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on the size of the wings and your specific air fryer model.
- Experiment with different sauces such as buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic to vary the flavor.
- For extra flavor, you can season the wings with additional spices or a dry rub before cooking.
