How to reheat bone-in wings in an air fryer
Reheating bone-in chicken wings is both easy and fast when using your air fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees.
- You will want to take your leftover wings out of the fridge and bring to room temperature before you put them in your air fryer basket.
- Place the wings in an even layer in the basket.
- If you are heating multiple batches, heat similar sizes together so they cook evenly.
How long to reheat wings in an air fryer
- Start by setting the timer to 5 minutes, and flip halfway through so they crisp evenly.
- How long you need to reheat wings in an air fryer will vary by model, so be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the inside of your wings has reached 165 degrees.
How to reheat boneless wings in an air fryer
When figuring out how best to reheat boneless wings in an air fryer, consider that they have a breading as opposed to skin. To ensure your boneless wings are reheated optimally:
- Use a “short-burst” method of cooking by reheating for just 3 minutes at 400 degrees.
- To enhance crispiness, spread your chicken evenly in the basket and spray with olive oil spray before heating.
