Our Best Ideas for Chicken Wings

When it comes to Game Day food, nothing can really compete with chicken wings (sorry nachos, you tried). Wings are crispy, coated in your favorite sauces and one of the few foods that are acceptable to eat with your hands. Plus, there are practically hundreds of ways to serve them. You can switch up the cooking method—opting to bake instead of frying, make wings in the air fryer or throw wings on the grill—or you can experiment with different seasonings and sauces. We reccomend starting with our classic chicken wings recipe, rejiggered for the air fryer. They're extra crispy, even though they only use a light coating of cooking spray on the air fryer basket. And, did we mention they're perfectly spicy and delicious, too?
