WHY WE LOVE AIR FRYER TURKEY WINGS

Air fryer turkey wings are an excellent alternative to regular chicken wings. Their larger size means more meat, making them perfect for a main meal. They also work well on an appetizer platter. Served on game day, these jumbo-sized wings will impress your guests.

Not only are turkey wings larger than chicken wings, but they also have firmer meat and skin with a slightly more robust flavor. In this recipe, we’ve kept things simple by tossing the wings in a light flour dredge and seasoning them with a few simple spices. This makes them extra crispy, flavorful, and compatible with almost any side dish.

Cooked in the air fryer, these tasty wings take less than 30 minutes to cook. The meat remains tender and juicy, while the skin becomes golden and crisp.

INGREDIENTS

These crispy wings are made with simple pantry ingredients, and it is easy to adjust the seasonings to your flavor preferences.

• Turkey wings: Split turkey wings are ideal for this recipe. If you can only find whole wings, remove the tip and separate the flat from the drumette.
• All-purpose flour, corn starch, & baking powder: This combination gives the wings their extra crispy coating. For a gluten-free option, omit the flour or replace it with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose blend.
• Seasonings: The seasoning blend is made with chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, garlic, and onion. You can replace the individual seasonings with your favorite seasoning blends, such as BBQ, jerk, or cajun.

Ingredients Checklist 

• 3 whole turkey wings split
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp mustard powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
  
  
  

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small bowl, combine the seasonings with the flour, corn starch, and baking powder. Place the wings on a baking sheet or cutting board and dust them with half of the seasoning blend, ensuring to cover all sides. Let them rest for five to ten minutes until the flour blend becomes sticky, then coat them again.
2. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and generously spray them with olive oil.
3. Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook the wings for 25-28 minutes. Turn the wings after 10 minutes and respray them with olive oil. Check the wings at 20 minutes and spray any dry spots with olive oil. Continue cooking until the skin is crispy and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Pro Tip: Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer’s brand, size, wattage, and the size of the wings. Turkey wings are cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and the skin is crispy. An internal temperature of 165°F indicates doneness.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

These crispy air-fried turkey wings are versatile. Serve them as a main meal, appetizer, or snack.

STORAGE & REHEATING
