For the wings: Coat wings with seasoning before baking, air frying or grilling. Follow instructions below.

For Baked Wings

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Using clean hands, remove chicken wings from package and place on the baking rack (which should be placed on the baking sheet). Using a dry paper towel, remove any moisture on wings by blotting them with the paper towel. Place in the oven and cook for 45-50 minutes or until a temperature of 165 F is reached.

For Air Fried Wings

Please consult the cooking guidelines provided by the manufacturer for your air fryer and check the recommendations for wings and poultry.

Place 5-6 wings (thawed) in the oven chamber of your air fryer. Be sure to not overcrowd your air fryer as overcrowding can impact the cooking quality. Cook for 20 minutes at 370° F. Remove wings from air fryer and serve immediately.

For Grilled Wings

Heat grill to medium heat. Place wings on grill and rotate every 5 minutes to avoid burning. Grill until hot all the way through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
