INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

- Cook the wings in the preheated air fryer for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- Check for Doneness:
- Make sure the internal temperature of the wings reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
- Optional Sauce Toss:
- If desired, transfer the cooked wings to a bowl, add your favorite wing sauce, and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve:
- Serve the air fryer chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
