Cook the turkey wings for 15 minutes
After you've preheated the air fryer to 350 degrees F and coated the turkey wings with olive oil and a spice mixture, it's time to cook the turkey wings. Set a timer for 15 minutes and place the wings in the air fryer. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
While the wings are cooking, you can prepare any side dishes or sauces that you plan to serve with them. You could make a simple salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette dressing. Or, if you prefer something heartier, roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes would pair well with the wings.
If you're feeling creative, you can also use this time to whip up a dipping sauce for the wings. A tangy barbecue sauce or a creamy ranch dressing would complement the flavours of the spice rub. You could even make a quick blue cheese dip by mixing crumbled blue cheese with sour cream, mayonnaise, and a splash of milk to thin it out.
Keep an eye on the wings as they cook. Depending on your air fryer and the size of the wings, the cooking time may vary slightly. You want the wings to be golden brown and crispy when they're done. After 15 minutes, use tongs or a spatula to carefully flip the wings over. This ensures even cooking and helps to create a delicious crispy texture on both sides.

Flip the wings over and cook for an additional 10 minutes
After the initial cooking time, you should flip the wings over and cook for an additional 10 minutes. This will ensure that the wings are cooked evenly on both sides. The total cooking time should be around 25 minutes, or until the inside of the wings reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
If you are cooking the wings from frozen, it is best to thaw them first. Leave them in the fridge overnight to defrost, and then follow the recipe as above.
Turkey wings are very greasy, so the air fryer will get messy. If your air fryer tends to smoke, put a piece of bread underneath the basket to catch the grease. Alternatively, add a little water to the bottom to prevent smoking.

Let the wings cool before serving
Once the turkey wings have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, they are ready to be taken out of the air fryer and left to cool. Place them on a plate or wire rack and let them sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the wings to reach the perfect temperature for eating.
It is important to let the wings cool slightly so that you don't burn your mouth when taking that first bite. Plus, it gives you a chance to prepare any sides or sauces to go with your meal.
If you are reheating turkey wings, set the air fryer to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. If you want to crisp up the skin, increase the temperature to 400 degrees F for the final 2 minutes.
