Preparing Your Chicken Wings
1. Choose your chicken wings: Start with fresh, whole chicken wings. Remove any excess fat or skin if desired.
2. Season your wings: Generously season your wings with your favorite spices and herbs. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
3. Marinate your wings (optional): For extra flavor, marinate your wings in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes.
Using the Gourmia Air Fryer
1. Preheat your air fryer: Preheat your Gourmia Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Place your wings in the fryer basket: Arrange your wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
3. Cook your wings: Cook your wings for 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. Flip your wings: Halfway through the cooking process, flip your wings to ensure even cooking.
Tips for Crispy Wings
- Dry your wings thoroughly: Pat your wings dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Overcrowding will prevent your wings from cooking evenly.
- Cook in batches: If cooking a large batch of wings, cook them in batches to ensure optimal crispiness.
- Don’t overcook your wings: Overcooked wings will become tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Saucing Your Wings
1. Prepare your sauce: Choose your favorite sauce, whether it’s barbecue, buffalo, or honey garlic.
2. Toss your wings in the sauce: Transfer your cooked wings to a bowl and toss them with your desired sauce.
3. Return to the air fryer: Return the sauced wings to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through the sauce.
Side Dishes for Your Wings

- Onion rings: Golden brown onion rings add a sweet and savory touch to your meal.
- Coleslaw: Tangy coleslaw provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the wings.

The Finishing Touch
- Garnish your wings: Sprinkle your wings with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately: Serve your crispy chicken wings hot and fresh for the best experience.
Tips for Leftovers
