Notes
Air Fry in Batches: Air fry in 2 batches to ensure even cooking and crispy texture. This allows proper air circulation around each wedge.
Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking times vary depending on your air fryer model. This recipe was tested in a Cosori 1500-watt air fryer. Adjust time as needed.
Save Time with Pre-Soaking: Soak wedges up to 24 hours ahead for faster cooking. Simply cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Dipping Delights: Pair your crispy wedges with delicious dips like buttermilk ranch, sriracha mayonnaise, or classic ketchup.
