Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
Place the dry wings in a large mixing bowl.
Add the flour, your favorite spice mix, and salt to the bowl.
Toss the wings thoroughly until they are evenly coated in the dry mixture.
Lightly spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the wings in a single layer.
Cook the wings at 250°F (120°C) for 20 minutes.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
Return the rested wings to the air fryer basket.
Cook for a second time at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
Transfer the hot, crispy wings to a clean bowl.
Pour your favorite wing sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately.
Store cooled fried wings in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness before saucing.

The double-fry method involves frying wings at a lower temperature first to cook through, then at higher temperature to crisp the exterior. This prevents burning while ensuring crispiness and tender meat.
Yes, fry wings completely and store in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness before saucing.
Garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and onion powder work well. Adjust ratios based on heat preference and your favorite wing sauce flavor profile.
After the second fry, wings should be golden brown and crispy when tapped. Meat should pull easily from bone; internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Air fryers cook differently and won't replicate the double-fry method's results. Use traditional frying oil for authentic crispy texture.
