After four separate attempts, and close to five pounds of chicken…the Holy Grail of air fryer chicken wings. The word I see most often associated with wings is crispy…but, you don’t want tough and dried out meat in order to get it. For science, I went through pounds of wings to figure out the perfect method, time, and temperature. This method is fool proof, and will give you incredible results each time. Trust me, you need to try this out.
*Update* if you don’t want to wash and wait three hours for the chicken to dry, you can use a paper towel to absorb any moisture.

This recipe takes about three and a half hours to assemble and cook. Trust me, it’s worth the wait, tastes out of this world, and is surprisingly healthy. These jerk air fryer chicken wings are not only keto friendly, they’re gluten free as well. This makes for a great snack or dinner, and you can easily double the amount if you’re entertaining. If you’re not using an air fryer, all of my recipes can also be made on a sheet pan in the oven, by adding 50 degrees to the temperature.

Why the “dry time” of 3 hours??
Because you wash them first. Don’t want to cook and season a wet wing.
Recipe updated to exclude instructions to wash & dry wings….saving three hours.
