Tasty Air Fryer Old Bay Wings

Okay friends, let’s talk wings. But not just any wings — we’re diving into Tasty Air Fryer Old Bay Wings. Now, if you’ve ever craved that tantalizing combo of spicy, zesty, and crispy all at once, these babies are calling your name. Trust me, you won’t look at wings the same way again. And if you’re nervous about cooking with an air fryer, don’t be. It’s like the fairy godmother of kitchen gadgets for folks who prefer their fried goodness without the grease guilt. Plus, Old Bay seasoning pretty much sends you one-way to flavor city. So why not kick up your wing game?

Oh boy, let me tell you, these wings are a major hit in our household. Picture this: a Sunday football game, our little fam camped out in the living room, me trying to half-watch the game while juggling a tray of these hot wings (and maybe accidentally flinging one in my husband’s direction). But seriously, these wings have become our go-to snack for game days, lazy weekends, and any day ending in ‘y,’ really. They’re just so finger-licking good—and honestly, when your picky eaters are actually fighting over the last piece? You know you’ve struck gold.

Why You’ll Love This Tasty Air Fryer Old Bay Wings

– They’re crispy without the deep-fry guilt. Seriously, that air fryer is like magic in a machine.
– Old Bay seasoning is basically a passport to the Boardwalk, and it brings all those nostalgic summer feels.
– It’s super fast. I mean, who actually has time to babysit a pot of oil forever?

How to Make It

Alright, let’s get cooking! Grab those chicken wings and give them a nice pat down (no one wants soggy wings, am I right?). Slather on some oil — don’t be shy, it’s your glue for the Old Bay action. Now, sprinkle that Old Bay goodness like you’re salt-bae; get every nook because flavor is boss. Toss ‘em in the air fryer, set to a nice hot 400-ish degrees. Tricking you into thinking you’re a pro chef, even when you forget to turn them halfway (story of my life). But if you do remember, give them a little love tap with tongs. About 25 minutes later, boom — your crispy, spicy, can’t-stop-at-one wings are done!

Ingredient Notes

– Chicken Wings: The star! Don’t skip drying them—moisture is the enemy of crisp.
– Old Bay Seasoning: Go heavy here. More is more if you ask me because the spice is just so right.
– Olive Oil: Even with air-frying, you can’t skip this. Once when I did, they weren’t crispy, and tears might have been shed.

Recipe Steps:
1. Pat wings dry.
2. Coat with olive oil.
3. Season generously with Old Bay.
4. Air fry at 400°F for 25 mins, turning halfway.
5. Enjoy those crispy bites of heaven.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Remember to turn the wings halfway through. Forgetting means uneven cookage — made-up word, but it applies!
– Got leftover Old Bay? Sprinkle it on fries. Trust me. Your taste buds will thank you.

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? First off, who are you, and how do you have leftovers? But no judgment, just pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. Cold, leftover wings for breakfast? Totally cool. That’s the breakfast of champions in my book. Just give them a quick nuke or toss back in the air fryer for max crisp.

Variations and Substitutions

Running low on Old Bay? Mixing up your own with paprika, salt, and pepper works in a pinch. No air fryer? Don’t sweat it, a hot oven will do, but get ready to flip those wings a bit more. Out of olive oil? Any vegetable oil will do, though beware that buttery taste goes wink. Hey, we make do with what we have, right?
