This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

These Marinated Chicken Wings are full of flavor and cook in about 30 minutes in an air fryer. Like my marinated chicken legs, this recipe includes a homemade chicken wing marinade that includes pantry staples like olive oil and lemon juice. Dip these into my blue cheese dressing or pair them with my air fryer squash for an easy keto-friendly chicken dinner.

Why Make These

  • Simple homemade marinade: this recipe includes an easy marinade that’s filled with pantry staples like olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Cooks in about 25 minutes: After the chicken wings are marinated, they come out juicy and crisp in the air fryer in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Chicken Wings: You can use fresh drumettes, party wings, or whole wings for this recipe
  • Chicken Wing Marinade: the marinade for the wings comes together with sea salt, a salt-free herb blend, fresh minced garlic, black pepper, olive oil and lemon juice
sea salt, garlic, black pepper, lemon juice, chicken wings, olive oil and sprinkle seasoning on separate bowls

How to Cook Marinated Chicken Wings in an Air Fryer

  1. Make the marinade: Add the salt, herb seasoning, garlic, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to a large bowl. Whisk to incorporate.
  2. Marinate the chicken wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinate and mix. Cover and allow the wings to marinate for at least 4 hours.
  3. Add the marinated wings to air fryer
  4. Air fry & flip halfway through
steps to cook marinated chicken in an air fryer

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 4 hours: to get the most flavor, you should allow your wings to marinate as long as possible. I’ve allowed my chicken to sit in the marinade for 1-2 days with great success.
  • Works for store-bought marinated wings too: if you buy your chicken wings with a marinade already on them, you can still use this recipe. Simply, jump to step #5 in the recipe.
Should you marinate chicken wings before air frying?

You do not have to marinate chicken wings before air frying them. In fact, there are so many ways to make chicken wings in the air fryer across the site. But, you can add a marinade like the one included to add a different flavor to your chicken.

Can you put raw wings in an air fryer?

Yes. This recipe is for cooking raw marinated chicken wings.

Can I put saucy wings in an air fryer?

I would only put sauce on wings in the air fryer at the very end because most sauces will burn if they are left on for the entire cook time. You can put saucy wings in an air fryer to reheat them without issues.

How long do you cook wings in the air?

This depends on the size of your wings and whether or not you are making air fryer frozen wings.
