Tips for Best Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings

Before diving into the frozen chicken wing extravaganza, use these helpful tips to ensure your air-fried food is perfect.

Skip thawing wings: Just like with this air fryer frozen chicken breast recipe, you can save time by popping the frozen chicken wings straight into your air fryer.

Variety is the spice of life: Frozen chicken wings come in various forms – pre-cooked or uncooked, breaded, sauced or plain, and in multiple sizes. Adapt your cooking times accordingly, and trust your intuition!

Sauce it up after it’s cooked: If you don’t want breading or sauce on your wings, fry them first and then toss them in your favorite sauce. This keeps your air fryer from burning sauces.

Make space for crispiness: Don’t overcrowd your air fryer – this assures evenly cooked, crispy wings every time.

Shake it up: Halfway through cooking, shake your wings or move them around with tongs so they cook evenly and don’t stick together.

Pair to perfection: Try out different dipping sauces and side dishes to make a feast that pleases a variety of flavors.

Salt: An essential ingredient that improves the chicken’s natural taste and balances the recipe’s flavors.

Olive oil: A drizzle of olive oil helps the seasonings stick to the wings and cooks them evenly and crispily in the air fryer.

Looking for a simple and tasty way to cook chicken thighs? Blackstone Griddle Chicken Thighs will blow your mind. The marinade is lively and full of flavor, so your chicken thighs will be juicy and tender. And let’s not forget the griddle, which makes the outside deliciously crisp. If you try these Blackstone Griddle Chicken Thighs, you’ll be totally hooked!

We often grill chicken at home, and I’m currently obsessed with making it on my Blackstone Griddle, especially when making these chicken wings. You can even venture to make this El Pollo Loco Chicken on your griddle—just follow the marinade recipe, and the grilling method stays the same. Try it, and enjoy the delicious results!

Ingredients for Blackstone Griddle Chicken Thighs

Chicken: The recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are more flavorful and juicier than chicken breasts. You can use chicken with the bone in or chicken breasts if you prefer, but make sure to adjust the cooking time and use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to the right temperature.

Mayonnaise: Choose a brand like Hellmann’s, which makes the marinade creamier and holds it all together.

Duck Fat: This ingredient adds a rich, savory flavor and is great for griddling. It doesn’t burn easily and is great for making crispy textures. Duck fat spray is my top choice because it does a great job of giving chicken thighs that crispy skin we all love while they cook. You can also use avocado oil, butter, vegetable oil, or olive oil as alternatives, but watch the smoke point.

Dijon Mustard: This ingredient adds a sharp, tangy flavor. You can replace it with spicy brown mustard for a different flavor.

Soy sauce: Soy sauce gives the marinade a savory, umami flavor. Use gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos as an alternative.

Seasonings: Seasonings like thyme, sea salt/kosher salt, pepper, and cayenne create a well-rounded flavor with a hint of spice. Feel free to change the mix to your taste, and if you want more depth, try adding garlic powder, chili powder, or paprika.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Blackstone Griddle Chicken

• Always use a thermometer to check the temperature of the griddle. The temperature of the cooking surface can change when you cook outside because of things like the air temperature and where you are (e.g., Florida in the summer vs. Maine in the fall).
• The chicken should be taken off the griddle when the temperature inside reaches 160°F. The temperature will rise to the recommended 165°F as it rests.
• Consider putting a lid or tent made of aluminum foil over the chicken while it’s cooking to help keep heat in and make sure it cooks evenly.
• Rotate the chicken every so often to get uniformly crisp skin and a consistent temperature inside.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling so that the juices can redistribute. This makes for tender, juicy chicken thighs.

Serving Suggestions for Chicken Thighs

Here are some tasty side dish choices to serve alongside your wonderful griddled chicken thighs:

1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy and delicious, this standard side dish matches the chicken beautifully.

2. Grilled Veggies: Asparagus, brussel sprouts, zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant make for a healthy and lively addition.

3. Corn on the Cob: Grilled or boiled, corn on the cob is a summer treat that goes well with chicken.

4. Rice Pilaf: A tasty rice pilaf with herbs and spices adds a bit of grace to the meal.

5. Green Beans Almondine: Delicate green beans sautéed with almonds and garlic make for a tasty and refined side.

6. Mac and Cheese: A comforting, cheesy macaroni dish is always a crowd-pleaser.

7. Dinner Rolls or Warm Bread: Serve fresh, crusty bread or delicate dinner rolls with butter to complete the meal. I suggest these Texas Roadhouse Rolls.
