In a large bowl, combine the wings with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the pieces evenly.
Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket and cook on 400˚F (200˚C) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
Notes
Bake time will vary based on the size of your air fryer and how many wings you put in the basket. You will need to increase the cook time for larger wings or when cooking more than 1 pound at a time.
If you want to baste the wings with sauce, do a first basting after 14 minutes and a second after 17 minutes.
There is no need to spray the basket or preheat the air fryer before cooking.
The chicken wings don't need to be in a single layer to cook properly. It's okay if they overlap.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
