Chicken wings are a favorite for many and probably one of the top requests for a recipe. It is a family favorite of ours, too. The reason this is left for maintenance is because chicken wings vary so greatly in size and differ between flats and drumettes, so it’s hard to get a correct protein count. Most wing recipes contain varying sauces, which can contain a lot of sugars, but this recipe uses spices to flavor the wings as they “fry” in the oven. They are wonderfully crispy, too!
Air fryers are great for many reasons. They are especially helpful to keep these patties together in the cooking process. The mozzarella cheese helps hold the patties together as they cook. This recipe uses canned chicken to make them even easier (ground chicken will not work). Enjoy them with a dipping sauce, like the Genesis “Honey” Mustard or Ranch Dressing or see the NOTES below for other ideas. This is a maintenance recipe, so there is not an exact measurement. This recipe can be cut in half, as well.
This recipe is so delicious! It will rival your favorite restaurant dish, yet is so easy. This is a maintenance or special occasion recipe due to the amount of heavy cream in this recipe, so portion sizes are not exact.
