The BEST Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe
How to Cook Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer
Ever since I got my Air Fryer a few months ago, I have been dying to make chicken wings. This is the one thing everyone seems to rave about, and after having a couple of recipe fails, I was ready for something to actually work. I knew that I wanted to use a delicious batter for them to get nice and crispy in, but I also knew I wanted to have a great sauce to baste them in. I’ve always loved the flavor of BBQ Sauce and Coke – it’s just such a delicious combination. So I thought I would try that for this recipe. I just made my own little sauce, and I basted it before, during, and after, and I waited with bated breath to see how it turned out.
Anyways, back to the recipe. It turned out DELICIOUS. I couldn’t have been happier with the results.
They were juicy, crispy, and full over amazing flavor!

You don’t say if you mix the bbq sauce with the Diet Coke. Do you?
Yes I do!
SO FANCY! I don’t know if what my husband has is called an air fryer, but it’s a giant fryer that uses propane to fry things so I think so? Anyway, he has done Thanksgiving turkeys in there for the last two years. Maybe he can make some chicken wings!!!
