Instructions

How to make Ninja Foodi Wings
Open your wing package and generously season your raw wings with salt and peppercorn pepper.
Using tongs, place each wing into AIR CRISP BASKET (the black one) side by side. It is OK to let them touch and they line up pretty easily in the basket (same as the package). You can get up to 10 in at once. If you missed spots on seasoning, which you can tell after you remove from the package, feel free to re-season IN the air fryer basket.
Close Air Fryer Lid (the one that is already hooked to your Ninja Foodi) and set your timing on AIR FRYER, 400 DEGREES, 10 minutes.
Open at 10 minutes and FLIP wings over and reset for AIR FRYER, 400 degrees, 10 Minutes.
Once done, open Air fryer and flip back to top and, using a baster or brush right in the basket, add your sauce to the wings on both sides.
Usually you will need to coat 2-3 times.
Close air fryer and reset for 400 degrees for 3 minutes.
WINGS ARE DONE!
Remove with tongs (they are hot).
