Precooked Frozen Chicken Wings in Air Fryer
As much as we love making fresh chicken wings, we always keep a bag or two of Tyson frozen chicken wings in the freezer. You never know when you’ll need to get something on the table quickly, and after years of raising teens, we trust Tyson for quality frozen appetizers that hit the spot. While we usually serve our fully cooked frozen chicken wings as part of an appetizer spread, they can also be the star of the show for dinner.
For an appetizer spread, pile your precooked frozen chicken wings in the air fryer alongside other delicious goodies like corn dogs, boneless air fryer wings, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeno poppers. When serving them for dinner, pair the air fryer frozen chicken wings with air fryer frozen tater tots and air fryer broccoli for a quick and easy meal made using just one kitchen appliance.

Our Tyson frozen chicken wings in air fryer recipe calls for just one ingredient, making it incredibly easy to plan for.
