You can use any type of chicken for these wings, but we prefer using drumettes. Drumettes are the part of the wing that includes the drumstick and flat section.

Air frying chicken wings is our favorite way to cook them! Air frying gives the wings a crisp exterior without all the oil and mess of deep frying.

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also bake the chicken wings in the oven. Just be sure to bake them until they are cooked through and golden brown.
