Pro Tips for the Best Results

No Oil Needed

Tyson wings are pre-cooked and already contain enough fat to crisp on their own.

Use a Meat Thermometer

For best results, make sure the internal temp hits 165°F—even if the outside looks done.

Want Extra Crisp?

Add 2–3 more minutes to the cook time for ultra-crispy skin.

Toss in Sauce After Cooking

Tossing in sauce before air frying can cause burning and soggy skin.
