- Cook - Cook for 30 minutes and then flip the wings. Cook for another 30-45 minutes. The TIME is approximate. Everyone likes their wings a different way. Check once the grill reaches 400, and keep checking every 5 minutes until they are done the way YOU like them.

I love reheating my wings in the air fryer! Bonus - it will re-crisp the skin too, heating them up this way, even if they are already sauced.

You cook the wings for 1 hour at 400?! WAY to long!
Nope! If you read the recipe, it calls to put the wings on a cold grill. My grill takes at least 20-25 minutes to get all the way up to 400 degrees. They cook at 400 for around 30ish minutes, five or take. Also depends on how dry the skin is and how crispy you like it. You can pull them whenever you want.
@Chuck, No, not too long. You have to start with a cold grill and cold chicken. I've done wings this way for a couple of years. They've come out perfect every time.
I agree an hour was way too long.... Maybe my grilla heats up faster than most, cuz even starting cold they were overcooked (195-210 degrees) after only 45
minutes
It definitely depends on the grill, the outside temp, the wind, etc. I've added some caveats to the post that the times are just an estimate, and that people should follow the meat. 😉
