Air Fryer Cooking Makes Healthier Chicken Wings
Often chicken wings are deep fried but now you can enjoy the crispy, delicious chicken wings made healthier with air frying.
I’m a fan of hot chicken wings (I love all types of spicy food) but I’ve made these lemon chicken wings several times now for my family and I have to say, these are a new favorite of mine. The mixture of flavors is amazing and the sprinkle of Parmesan on top makes them extra delicious.
I love how the air fryer gets these crispy, too.

How to Cook Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are a great item to cook in the air fryer because the convection method makes them especially crispy.
- Preheat air fryer to 400.
- If desired, brush chicken wings with olive oil.
- Place chicken wings in air fryer basket, taking care to leave room for air to circulate.
- Bake for 8 minutes per side, for a total of approximately 24 minutes.
- Check that chicken is done near bone, then serve.
Weight Watchers Points in Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Calculating points for chicken wings can be a bit tricky since the number of wings varies per pound. I spent quite a long time with my WW app calculating this recipe.
We assumed that 2.5 pounds of chicken wings was approximately 15 wings
Each chicken wing is 6 WW Smart Points.
Each chicken wing (with skin removed before cooking) is 2 points.
Taking the skin off chicken wings is a pain in the butt, but you have to admit it makes a significant difference in the points for the recipe. I’ll leave that decision up to you.
