How long to cook air fryer wings

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 22:00

Fresh or frozen?

How crisp?

How full is the basket?

Air fryers cook by moving hot air. Blocked air means steaming, not crisping.

How to tell without a timer

Check 74°C / 165°F at the bone. Sauce them after.

Chicken is a food-safety cook, not a preference. Check 74°C / 165°F at the thickest point, at the bone if there is one.

A crowded basket steams. Shake it halfway and expect it softer than a single layer — if you want it properly crisp, cook it in two goes rather than giving it longer.

How it goes

  1. Single layer, skin side up to start.
  2. Shaken. Skin should be tightening.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
