I had 6 wings in the freezer so I separated the wing from the drumette and made one batch of Italian and one of the Mexican and tosses them in the air fryer. I did omit the coconut oil tho. Cooked for 20 minutes at 380F and flipped after 10 minutes. Cooked in two batched so the wings weren’t too crowded and cooked more even. Very tasty and crispy skins. I’ll have to try the other two on the drumsticks I have in the freezer
