Have you ever eaten a naked chicken wing? No frill, no sauces, just good old chicken in all of it's glory.
Sure, dressed up wings are delish, but sometimes it's nice to strip things down to the basics. Plain isn't always boring! That's especially true when it comes to these crispy air-fried wings.
Naked wings are a great starter wing for picky eaters who aren't convinced yet that wings are ah-mazing. Once your picky eater tries these basic wings and realizes that wings are super yummy, they'll be willing to try wings with some breading and sauces.
WHAT ARE NAKED CHICKEN WINGS?
Naked chicken wings are plain chicken wings made with no breading or sauces. You can eat them as is or dunk them in your favorite sauce when they're done cooking!ARE PLAIN CHICKEN WINGS HEALTHY?
Plain air-fried chicken wings are totally better for you than deep-fried chicken wings. A fan circulates hot air at high speed around the wings producing a crispy outside, just like if they were fried in oil, but without all of the grease.
HOW TO COOK NAKED PLAIN CHICKEN WINGS IN YOUR AIR FRYER
Cooking plain chicken wings in your air fryer is easy! First, spray your fryer with olive oil spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer and lightly spray the wings with a little more olive oil. Air fry at 400 degrees F until golden and crispy, flipping once. See below for detailed recipe instructions.WHAT TO PUT ON PLAIN OR NAKED CHICKEN WINGS
You can season your plain wings with salt and pepper before air frying or leave them completely plain. I like to dip my crispy naked wings in ranch, blue cheese, or buffalo sauce.
