Jump to Recipe

I've been experimenting with different flavours to cook chicken wings in the air fryer...this easy air fryer Cajun chicken wings recipe is the first one...a flavour that I love!   You might also like to try the easy air fryer piri piri chicken wings, and the easy air fryer Spanish chicken wings!

The ingredients list is pretty short so you'll hopefully have everything in your store cupboard, and will just need to buy a pack of wings from the supermarket.

Prep is quick and then the air fryer does the hard work in 30 minutes resulting in delicious crispy and full of flavour chicken wings.

Tips

  • Baking powder makes the chicken skin blister and air frying makes them lovely and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside!
  • Experiment with different spice flavours eg: fajita, jerk or taco seasoning!
  • This easy air fryer Cajun chicken wings recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
