Ingredients

• 1 bag Foster Farms Crispy Chipotle BBQ Wings (frozen, fully cooked)

• Optional:

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing

  • Celery and carrot sticks

  • Extra BBQ or hot sauce for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Wings

• Remove the frozen wings from the bag

• Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket

• Do not stack—leave space for airflow and even crisping

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 400°F for 10–14 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through

• Wings should be crispy on the outside and hot all the way through

• Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C)

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving—they’ll be hot and saucy.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Too many wings at once can lead to steaming instead of crisping.

Flip or Shake Midway

Ensures the wings crisp evenly and the sauce caramelizes without burning.

Use Foil or a Liner for Easy Cleanup

If your air fryer allows, using parchment or a silicone liner can help with saucy wings.

Serve with Fresh Dips and Veggies

Balance out the heat with cool, creamy sides.
