THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS IN THE AIR FRYER

Cooking wings in the air fryer can be so delicious, you will never miss oil fried chicken wings again!

The trick is to start at a lower temperature such as 375 degrees F for 25 minutes and making sure to flip halfway through. The lower temperature allows the fat under the skin to gradually break apart. After the fat is broken apart, increase temp to 400 degrees F and cook for another 6-8 minutes to add that delicious crispy skin. You end up with a tender inside and a crunchy outside!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“I just want to say thank you! I’m having my first cycle naturally in I don’t know how long. YEARS! I have PCOS and my Dr put me on birth control at 16 so I would have regular cycles to “help” my PCOS. I wish I had known about The Ketogenic life way back then!

After getting married 8 years ago I stopped taking birth control to try to conceive. When I stopped BC my cycle didn’t return. 10 months later my OB decided to start me on fertility meds that forced me to have cycles. Between fertility treatments I never had cycles on my own. I conceived my son on my last fertility treatment cycle that I was able to afford and was blessed with my miracle baby. Since recovering from his birth in November of 2015, I haven’t had a cycle on my own. I started fertility treatments in November or 2016 which gave me cycles, and unfortunately miscarried twice between December and April.

Since April I haven’t had a period, but almost a month into your meal plans in The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse my cycle started on it’s own!!! This is such great news for me, my PCOS and my fertility.

I also have more energy, better skin, sleeping much better and I’m so much happier. I didn’t realize how sad I really was and I know that changing my diet has helped with that mental shift to happiness and self love. I can not thank you enough for sharing your passion with the world. I’m so thankful I found your website last year which started me on this path to health and wellness. I’ve also dropped 15 pounds this past month as well which is an added bonus! Thank you for helping me find me again!” Laura

    Thank you! I have a question:
    With 6 in our family we usually cook 8lbs of wings. We have been trying them in the air fryer but with that many it’s taking super long. Any suggestions? Start two trays in the oven- 375 for 25 min and then finish in the Airfryer at 400 for the 6-7 min?

    OR
    Cook for the 25 min in air fryer – keeping the batches warm in the oven and finish in the air fryer?

    Btw- we have the Gowise 5.8
    AND I’ve preordered your air fryer cook book- can’t wait 😋

    Thanks in advance for your help.
