Why Make This

  • Homemade Cajun Seasoning: I use my DIY Cajun seasoning as a dry rub in this recipe. I love it because by making it yourself, you get to have all the flavor and control the salt. Plus, there’s always some leftover to use in other recipes like my air fryer cajun shrimp and keto shrimp and grits.
  • Quick with simple ingredients: this Air Fryer Cajun Wings recipe has less than five ingredients and just requires you to coat the meat with seasoning and air fry until the chicken wings are crisp

Ingredients Needed

chicken wings, cajun seasoning and a bottle of avocado oil
  • Chicken Wings: I’m using fresh, raw, chicken wings that are cut into drums and flats. You can also keep the chicken wings whole for this or any of my air fryer chicken wings recipes.
  • Cajun Seasoning: this is a homemade spice mix. You can get the recipe by clicking the linked name.
  • Avocado Oil: this oil works to help crisp and brown the wings. If you don’t have it, olive oil is a good substitute.

How to Make Cajun Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer

  1. Coat the chicken wings with oil and spices
  2. Add the wings to the air fryer cooking basket
  3. Air fry on 400 degrees
  4. Flip mid-way through to get an even crisp on both sides

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

  • Give the wings space: air frying works best when the food has enough space to allow the air to flow. By not overcrowding your chicken wings, you’ll have more even cooking.
  • Toss the wings in the seasoning after to amp up the dry rub flavor: you can put dry rub on chicken before and after cooking.
  • Let the chicken sit with the dry rub on it for maximum flavor: you can season the wings and store them in the refrigerator overnight

How long does it take to fry wings in an air fryer?

This depends on the cooking temperature that you use and how big your wings are. Overall, your chicken wings should be ready in 30 minutes or less.

How long does it take to air fry chicken wings at 400?

I prefer to cook chicken wings in the air fryer at 400 degrees. It takes about 25 minutes for crispy chicken wings to cook.

How do you make blackened wings in an air fryer?

This recipe is one way to make blackened chicken. But, you can also use blackened seasoning or my chicken dry rub for similar results.

Can you layer chicken wings in an air fryer?

You should not layer your chicken wings in a basket style air fryer. To make the chicken crisp and cook it evenly, it’s important to have room for the air to circulate.

  • Air Fryer Broccoli
  • Keto Creamed Spinach
  • Air Fryer Squash
