🥫 Storing and Reheating
Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container for 3-4 days. I like to enjoy freshly baked chicken wings in the oven, but they can also be reheated quickly in the air fryer.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees and bake for 3-5 minutes until fully reheated.

- Heating time may vary depending on the size of chicken wings. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
