Filling the air fryer basket.
You can load up the air fryer basket, but be careful not to overload it. There needs to be enough space so that the hot air circulating through the inside of the air fryer cooks the wings evenly, so if you can, place the wings in a single layer. If you have the basket filled quite a lot, just shake it a couple of times to make sure everything is cooking evenly. If you’re cooking for a big crowd, you may have to make wings in batches, but everyone will wait for fresh hot wings!
