Equipment

  • 4 to 6-quart air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken wing strips cut into individual sections
  • 2 tbsp bacon fat for cooking
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Season the chicken wing strips: Lightly coat the chicken wing strips with bacon fat and season with salt.
  • Cook the chicken wing strips: Arrange the strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Serve: Once cooked, drizzle with any leftover melted bacon fat for extra crispiness and flavor.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):

  • Cheesy Chicken Wings: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the wings during the last minute of cooking for a melty finish.
