Air Fried Sweet Cilantro Lime Chicken Wings

Updated: Mar 20, 2021

I was given an air fryer by a friend and it has been one of the best kitchen tools I have. Let me tell you, it cooks everything perfectly! ESPECIALLY chicken wings! These irresistible wings are a simple and quick recipe you can whip up on a weeknight or at the end of a busy week. All the seasoning and herbs beautifully compliment each other.


Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce, a side dish, and a cold drink. I enjoyed my wings with ranch dressing and a refreshing ginger beer drink (recipe coming soon for that)!

Tools

  3. Add chicken wings to the air fryer. Set to 400 and cook for 25 minutes until golden brown or darker if that's your vibe.

Tips

  • Marinate chicken in advance for deeper flavor. The longer it marinates the better the seasoning penetrates the chicken.

  • To bake: Add to an oven safe dish or tray, set oven temperature to 400 degrees and cook for 25 minutes - 30 minutes until well done.
