How to make instant pot air fryer lid chicken wings?

Pat dry the wings with a paper towel and season the chicken wings with cajun seasoning. 

Place the seasoned chicken wings inside the air fryer basket, put the basket into the inner pot, and place the air fryer lid on top. Set the temperature Air fry to 400F for 20 to 25 minutes.

The instant pot air fryer lid won’t start counting until it is automatic preheated. It will pause in the middle of the cooking time and tell you when to flip your chicken wings, flip the chicken wings, and place the lid back on.

Once the time is done, open your instant pot air fryer lid, remove the chicken wings and repeat with the remaining wings. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

RECIPE TIPS

• Depending on how salted is the cajun seasoning you are using, season with salt and pepper to taste (I didn’t use salt) 

• Substitute the Cajun seasoning with your favorite seasoning or simply use salt and pepper.
• To fit more wings inside the basket, you can use the dehydrator trail that came with the air fryer lid, or you can put them vertically to fit more wings.

• If you put them vertically inside the basket, you don’t need to flip them, and the air fryer lid will resume cooking. 

Once the cooking time is done, and if you want the crispiest chicken wings, cook for 2-5 minutes more.

CAN YOU USE FROZEN CHICKEN WINGS?

Yes, you can, And if you have the air fryer lid because you have an instant pot, it is faster to make frozen wings first in the pressure cooker and finish them with the air fryer lid.

You don’t need to wait for the wings to thaw if you have the instant pot, and you can have chicken wings in the same or less time than it would take to order carry-out and much healthier.

CAN YOU STACK WINGS IN THE AIR FRYER?

No, you cannot stack the chicken wings when cooking them in the air fryer.

The hot air needs to be blowing around the food while it is cooking. If you stack the wings, they will nott crisp up or cook evenly.

ARE AIR FRIED WINGS HEALTHY?

It depends on what you consider healthy because eating healthier doesn’t look the same for everyone. But air-fried wings are healthier than the deep-fried ones.  You don’t need to use oil to get them nice and crispy. 

Some people try to avoid wings because of the oil when they are deep-fried but using the air fryer; you won’t need almost anything like you need when deep-frying wings.
