There's even more possible shortcuts listed below. This air fryer barbecue chicken take less than half the time as baked chicken wings and healthier than fried chicken wings.Whether you're looking for easy dinner ideas or party finger foods, this simple air fryer recipe will be a hit! It can even be gluten-free! Just make sure your choice of barbeque sauce and seasoning blend is gluten-free.Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the detailed, printable recipe. Pictures below will help guide you as you read the recipe.I gave it a try and did a side by side taste test and honestly couldn't tell a difference in this recipe. The science behind it says it dries out the chicken skin leaving it more crispy.Since I'm all about simplicity in my cooking with shortcuts, I'm going to stick with making sure the wings are patted dry at the beginning.I made them both ways in my air fryer with a nonstick rack, with and without brushing/coating them with oil first. I did not see a significant difference in texture, taste or crispiness. Since I use the air fryer to cook foods with less oil (as well as quick-cooking), I do not brush them with oil first.If you have a metal rack that's not nonstick in an oven-style air fryer, it will need to be sprayed or brushed with oil first.If you want to add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or olive oil to the bag of chicken wings before adding the seasoning, be sure to rub it into the chicken using the bag so it coats each piece well.Here are some suggestions for spice blends to use instead of paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper.More BBQ sauce! Slather it on thick before serving or offer an extra bowl to gild the lily!If by chance all of these yummy sticky sweet wings do not get eaten right out of the air fryer, no worries. Sometimes leftovers are even better! Also, you might want to plan ahead for your party and cook them all, then reheat them right before serving.Refrigerator: Place the wings in an air tight container or sealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Any leftover sauce can be put in a smaller container or smaller sealable bag and put right inside the container or bigger bag. They can be stored in the fridge up to 5 days.Freezer: Same steps as storing in the fridge PLUS, I highly recommend freezing in a Foodsaver bag. Vacuum sealing taking out all the extra air that causes frost bite on food and frozen condensation which give you those pesky ice crystals.To reheat in the air fryer, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and air fry at 375 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes, turn and air fry an additional 3 minutes or until hot and bubbly and heated through. No need to preheat the rack to reheat.To reheat straight from the freezer: (If they aren't frozen in a clump) put air fryer mode on BAKE. This prevents the super heated air to circulate which might cause the outside to burn before the frozen inside of the chicken cooks. Cook on BAKE for 6 to 7 minutes, turn and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cooked through.Regarding reheating bbq chicken wings, they will likely be less "crispy" than freshly made and served. Since they will already be sauced for an extended period of time and reheated with the sauce on them, it's harder to crisp the skins back up.If you want to prep the wings ahead of time and even cook them in the air fryer days or weeks before serving, store them according to my directions above BEFORE adding any sauce.This means cook them in the air fryer with just the dry seasonings, let them cool completely, then refrigerate or freeze them "naked". Reheat to get them crispy, then brush with the sauce. Air fry 1 more minute just like when preparing them fresh and they will be much crispier than when stored with sauce on them!Bacon-Wrapped Cheesy Tater TotsJarcuterie (Charcuterie board in a jar)Bacon Tomato Dip (BLT Dip)Dove Jalapeno PoppersIf you make this recipe I'd love to see it!
