Air Fryer Turkey Wings
Air Fryer Turkey Wings are my favorite way to get that deep, rich holiday turkey flavor on a regular weeknight without any of the all-day effort. Each wing gets seasoned with poultry seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper, then braised in white wine and chicken broth until perfectly golden on the outside and incredibly juicy and tender all the way to the bone. The flavor is rich, savory, and honestly so much better than you'd expect from something this easy. I make these for Sunday dinners, Thanksgiving for smaller gatherings, game day parties, potlucks, and any time I want a hearty, impressive meal that comes together with barely any effort. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes
Here are a few things I've learned from making these Air Fryer Turkey Wings more times than I can count.
- Choose the right baking dish: Make sure the baking dish you use fits inside your air fryer basket without pressing against the sides, which can block airflow and affect how evenly the wings cook.
- Season both sides generously: Don't rush the seasoning step. Getting the poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic onto both sides of the wings makes a big difference in the depth of flavor you get in every bite.
- Don't skip the liquid: The chicken broth and white wine aren't just for flavor. They create steam inside the dish, keeping the meat juicy, while the wings' tops crisp up beautifully in the hot air.
- Flip halfway through: Turning the wings at the midpoint of the cook time helps both sides develop that golden, even color. Set a timer so you don't forget.
- Check the temperature, not just the color: Wings can look done before they actually are. Always check that the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) near the bone before pulling them from the air fryer.
- Freeze with broth: When freezing leftovers, add a spoonful of the cooking liquid to the bag or container before sealing. It acts as a buffer against freezer burn and keeps the meat tasting fresh after reheating.
