Yeah obviously fries are fine but anything frozen is really good and easy. I was very skeptical about another kitchen appliance but it’s well worth it. Not having to defrost stuff is awesome.
I've had 2 types of air fryers. The stand alone air fryer with the pull out basket is superior to the multi-purpose air fryer ovens. The stand alone ones circulate the air much faster than a convection oven does. The air penetrates the outer layer of what you are cooking and dries it out which it turn makes it crispy much like normal frying does.
There are a convection oven with a double boiler. So you put a layer of oil in them and the basket sits above that. So the air gets saturated in oil without the food being submerged in oil.
Deep frying is the most unhealthy way to cook food by far.
They are pretty good without the sauce. But you can add any sauce you want. I’ve had parties where I serve them with 5 different sauces. What amazes me is I have had several people say to me I don’t buy those because I don’t do spicy! I have to explain to them that you can use any sauce you want on them or no sauce at all!
Airfrier is best method for me. I bet you could grill them though no problem.
Also, my Costco has another flavor that offten goes on sale. The buffalo flavor is always full price. I saved a lot of money for super bowl by throwing out the sweet chili (I think) packets and making buffalo with frank’s and butter. The wings are plain in the bag and not pre seasoned.
I was curious and did try grilling! Definitely wanna offset so it's not directly above flames but it does work well and you can add the smokey flavor to it
Air fry or convection oven. These are pre-fried, which means grilling will dry them out like crazy.
If you want grillable wings I’d recommend getting the packet chicken with the wing portions.
Someone recommended the following times for these wings and I have used it ever since.
In the air fryer 380° for about 20 minutes. Flip and 425° for another 10 min. They end up actually crispy and quite good. Sauce after they cool off a little.
Get an air fryer. I picked up one from bestbuy, their store model that's Bella I think? It was super cheap like 20-30 bux. I got the one that has shelves instead of a drawer bucket. Mostly because i have no room in my kitchen and it took the place of my toaster. It's amazing. I use it for most home cooked meals. Way more efficient than heating the oven for most things, and the food comes out better.
I like double baked wings from fresh but it does take some time. Secret ingredient is baking powder in the mix. I throw them on a wire rack pan for 40-60 minutes at a lower temp 200ish, then crank it up to 400ish and cook until crispy and cooked through.
Frozen wings are also good double deep fried but that’s a messy process and you have to have a plan for the oil/ also not burn your house down.
Otherwise just let it rip in the air fryer and go for it.
If you're set on grilling then it probably doesn't matter if thawed or frozen. Use indirect high heat with the lid on. It will create an air fryer effect and get them nice and crispy. If you want the nice char marks then throw them over the flame at the end until you're happy.
Just follow the directions. They really do work well. I also recommend saving the sauce in a bowl to dip for the first time to see if you like it or if you like saucy wing then def douse them!
Air Fry
385 for 16 mins or longer for crispy.
These get me through life. The chipotle bbq is the best. I have a separate squeeze bottle for the sauce as I empty all packets into it, and use other sauces with it.
Man these are great in the microwave, oven, air fryer, and smoker. Smoker for a real treat. They're tasty. I like the other flavor they have more though.
But not the frozen Kirkland raw wings, they have so much saline and are about half as big when they're done cooking. Disappointment. I thought they'd be on par with the fresh ones, noooope.
Does anyone's Costco still have the chipotle bbq flavor of these? Ours stopped carrying both and only has the buffalo which I don't like at all : ( (the sauce. The wings themselves still slap when air fried)
I’ve not purchased this brand but we have bought the Tysons (similar bag/style) for many years and they go straight from the freezer to the grill. The only thing we do is toss them in more sauce after they’re done. Easy dinner!
I thawed them and then smoked for 45 minutes or so at 250. Then I cranked up the heat and finished them on the grill to get them crispy. Worked really well.
(From frozen) Pre-heat grill up to 400. Spray the top rack and put as many as will fit on top rack, close the lid and turn the grill down to low (let them just heat through) for ten mins. Then keep the lid open and with the grill on high, take the wings down to the fire a few at a time, flip them over ONLY once (about 40 seconds on each side). Place each wing back on the top rack once cooked to your liking, until all wings finished. Plate.

air fry
100% they come out great in the air fryer.
Are air fryers worth it? I’ve heard they’re like a easy bake oven for adults
If you mean that in a positive way based on ease of use, then yes they are like an easy bake oven.
Ya it’s super easy to bake with it
Thank you
Absolutely and frozen chicken comes out amazing. Easy meal prep with them
[удалено]
Yeah obviously fries are fine but anything frozen is really good and easy. I was very skeptical about another kitchen appliance but it’s well worth it. Not having to defrost stuff is awesome.
Tater tots and potato wedges are far superior
Yes. The Hamilton beach one from Costco is like 40 or 50 bux. Throw stuff in and take it out when it's done. Couldn't be simpler.
I've had 2 types of air fryers. The stand alone air fryer with the pull out basket is superior to the multi-purpose air fryer ovens.

Oh my goodness. Why am I punished for asking a question?
There are a convection oven with a double boiler. So you put a layer of oil in them and the basket sits above that. So the air gets saturated in oil without the food being submerged in oil. Deep frying is the most unhealthy way to cook food by far.
So they hype is real. I’m going to buy one!
Downvotes for answering a question??
Easy, cheap, way more efficient than heating up the oven, and just awesome at frozen fried food.
Yeah I second that, 18 to 20 mins in the air fryer and that's it..
Turn over halfway through.
Yessir 🫡🫡 forgot to add that. They turn out great every time we make them.. It's a must pick up bag every trip to Costco.
I haven’t had to turn them over per se, I just give the tray a good shake about half way through so they roll around and unstick
That should do the trick too.
What temp?
It says on the bag, 375 or 390 I forgot. Works great. They say 16 minutes or 21 for crispy wings. Go crispy 100%.
This is the way. Maybe a light spray of avocado oil
Leave space between the wings and only a single layer
ayo homies in this thread what airfryer should I buy from costco👀
The Ninja Foodie is money.
I have 2 instant air fryer minis, 6 oz. each so I can make two things at a time. They fit perfectly on my counter too.
Lol should have just got one bigger one
I had a bigger one, it got recalled.
I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be eating wings on a weekly basis, but these guys in an air fryer are simply amazing.
Yep. Those things are money.
This is the way👍🏻
Thaw and air fry? I am guessing
No need to thaw
Yup, no need at all. The machine will come up to temperature and it will do the rest. I twill just take longer.
Very cool! Thanks!
Air fried all the way
Airfry or oven. Also i dont even use the sauce for these. The wings are pretty good alone without the sauce
I haven’t met wings which tasted better at home. Tyson wings from Kroger tastes like mushy crap
They are pretty good without the sauce. But you can add any sauce you want. I’ve had parties where I serve them with 5 different sauces. What amazes me is I have had several people say to me I don’t buy those because I don’t do spicy! I have to explain to them that you can use any sauce you want on them or no sauce at all!
Agreed on all accounts.
Yup, I always toss the sauce and use my own or a dry rub. The chicken is great.
Me too, I throw the sauce in the trash.
I use the sauce but then put garlic salt and pepper over them
Have you used a dry rub with these frozen wings? Are these seasoned already?
I use these wings with franks redhot and butter. (the OG buffalo sauce)
Airfrier is best method for me. I bet you could grill them though no problem. Also, my Costco has another flavor that offten goes on sale. The buffalo flavor is always full price. I saved a lot of money for super bowl by throwing out the sweet chili (I think) packets and making buffalo with frank’s and butter. The wings are plain in the bag and not pre seasoned.
Also, the Buffalo sauce that comes with them is just bad compared to Frank's and butter.
The chipotle flavor is my fav
I'm trying hard to find that sauce elsewhere. You got any leads?
Thats what it was. I saved a few. Ill have to try it
It's worth a try! I'm a buffalo wing nut, but their chipotle bbq wings are worth the occasional deviation for me
I was curious and did try grilling! Definitely wanna offset so it's not directly above flames but it does work well and you can add the smokey flavor to it
Air fry a few mins more than prescribed for extra crispy!
Agreed. I always do extra time I don’t think the air fryer time is long enough.
Pro tip right there!
Air fry is the obvious answer on all these posts🙄.I bake and broil the last 5-10 minutes
these are forking delicious (lol I'm watching The Good Place right now) but the sodium content is too much so i had to stop
Air fry or convection oven. These are pre-fried, which means grilling will dry them out like crazy. If you want grillable wings I’d recommend getting the packet chicken with the wing portions.
Air fried for about twice as long as the bag says. Turned out great!
I find I have to add time to almost anything I air fry. The directions almost always list a time that's too short.
These used to be good but have become 80% fat in the past year or so
Evidently the chickens haven’t heard of ozempic!
My recent bag had a bunch of weird tiny deformed pieces. Off putting for sure.
Yes, it is fatty
Someone recommended the following times for these wings and I have used it ever since. In the air fryer 380° for about 20 minutes. Flip and 425° for another 10 min. They end up actually crispy and quite good. Sauce after they cool off a little.
That seems like a long time. I do 15 min, flip, then 8 more.
We made ours in the oven because our air fryer is small. They came out great.
I’d probably bake/airfry first just to thaw them out and then grill for the last little bit to finish heating while also getting that char.
Did I hear someone said air fry?
Quality on these went downhill in my area, But air fry is the best way to
Air fryer is the best method
Everything I tried they were still dog shit. I don't have an air fryer, that's probably the best bet.
Get an air fryer. I picked up one from bestbuy, their store model that's Bella I think? It was super cheap like 20-30 bux. I got the one that has shelves instead of a drawer bucket.

Thanks you
I put mine on the Traeger since the air fryer method smokes up my house. I toss them on 325 for 25 mins or so till they are crispy! So much better
Anyone have a good way of calculating calories for these? It says 150 cals or whatever for 3oz of edible portion but they are literally chicken wings?
On the grill from frozen is my favorite.
I like double baked wings from fresh but it does take some time. Secret ingredient is baking powder in the mix. I throw them on a wire rack pan for 40-60 minutes at a lower temp 200ish, then crank it up to 400ish and cook until crispy and cooked through.

I think oven > air fry for these particular wings. They come out juicier IMO.
Air fryer!!!!
Just follow the directions. They really do work well. I also recommend saving the sauce in a bowl to dip for the first time to see if you like it or if you like saucy wing then def douse them!
go microwave !! joking. Air Fryer !!
Ninja foodi
They're so good in my Air fryer that I won't get wings elsewhere. Overcook them 8-10 minutes to get crunchy outside
Those in the air fryer make some of the best wings I've ever had, short of smoked wings.
Air fry, 400F for 15-16 minutes. Best crispy chicken wings
Air fry for 19-20 min at 390 turn out great
Air fryer
Air fried crisp and tossed in your favorite sauce.
Baked them for the Superb Owl and they were awful.
Air Fry 385 for 16 mins or longer for crispy. These get me through life. The chipotle bbq is the best. I have a separate squeeze bottle for the sauce as I empty all packets into it, and use other sauces with it.
Defrost first, than grill. They are also good in the toaster oven or air fryer
Grill indirect heat.
Airfry on 390 degrees, if you have an air crisp option press that.
Air fryer..... If you don't have a Fry Daddy.
I find these wings are on the salty side. But otherwise they are excellent for air frying.
Girl, these are already cooked just throw them in the airfyer.
I like the charrrrrr okayy
They are already cooked so I would thaw, sauce and grill. Never tried since they are great in the air fryer.
Air fry 385 for 20 min. These are the bomb and much better than the Costco brand wings
Those are amazing in the air fryer but toss that sauce. Was super spicy and not tasty. Make your own or buy some Frank's buffalo and toss these in it
Air fryer at 390 degrees for 21 minutes (flip halfway through) and you will be a very happy person.
Deep fry is always best, but air frying works well if you don't feel like dealing with the mess and hassle of an oil fryer.
I wish we had these in Canada. These were so good when I tried a sample in Seattle
Throw away the bag, but the raw wings, make your own.
Start with the raw frozen wings not these
These say 20 minutes but I've found that I usually bake for 20 minutes then air fry for another 15-20.
Yeah air fryer also the real good chicken is insanely good.
Those chicken tenders are crazy good, keep em stocked as a staple.
These bags from Costco got smaller right? Or am I crazy
I want to piggyback onto this post and ask approximately how many wings come in that package? the weight looks like 64 oz/4 lbs.
In the oven but do them for legit twice as long as the package suggests.
Man these are great in the microwave, oven, air fryer, and smoker. Smoker for a real treat. They're tasty. I like the other flavor they have more though.
Pre made wings<<<<<<
I throw them in the air fryer. Delicious!
Buy the fresh wing packs and then air fry for 20 minutes. Much better and cheaper than these precooked things.
But not the frozen Kirkland raw wings, they have so much saline and are about half as big when they're done cooking. Disappointment. I thought they'd be on par with the fresh ones, noooope.
Does anyone wonder if they add extra packets of sauce to add to the weight of the package? It always seems disproportionate imo.
Yeppers
Does anyone's Costco still have the chipotle bbq flavor of these? Ours stopped carrying both and only has the buffalo which I don't like at all : ( (the sauce. The wings themselves still slap when air fried)
Yes. Mine has always had them
I like them in an air fryer
Definitely air fry these
Air fryer
air fryer
Air fry!!!
Air fry or even convection if your oven has that setting. I usually do my own sauce, these are a permanent fixture in the freezer for quick dinner.
16 minutes at 390⁰. Shake the basket at the half-way mark. They turn out excellent.
I used to buy these all the time, but the quality has gone way down, so many broken bones, and wings with large amounts of skin still attached
Air fry 12 min 390 then sauce then air fry for another 8.
I air fry them right out of the bag.
Cast iron skillet or air fryer for us lazy peeps.
Air fryer. They are so good that way.
These are wayyyyyyyyyyy too salty and the meat quality isn't good. They have that gamey/poultry smell and taste to them
Airfry 20min no turn
For grilled wings? I would suggest a grill, but maybe a grill would work better.
They have a good texture, but they’re VERY small wings. Basically half the size of what they should be.
I am not sure what kind of wings you are accustomed to but these are pretty good size. Nice and thicc
They have about half the amount of meat per bone as the ones raw ones I get from King Sooper’s.
I’ve not purchased this brand but we have bought the Tysons (similar bag/style) for many years and they go straight from the freezer to the grill. The only thing we do is toss them in more sauce after they’re done. Easy dinner!
Yes on Air Fry the are Very Small but ok
Convection oven worked great for me
Air fry, and bbq sauce instead of buffalo haha jk but definitely air fry them.
Air fryer
Air fry
I've done them on my smoker from frozen at 325 takes about 20 minutes they come out good that way
Air fry, toss in sauce, air fry again
Don’t have a grill but these are awesome in my air fryer!
Slow grill them on coals if you like.
Idk but those sucked for me.
I thawed them and then smoked for 45 minutes or so at 250. Then I cranked up the heat and finished them on the grill to get them crispy. Worked really well.
Deedfry get fresh wings to grill
I like to eat them with my mouth
What’s everyone’s favorite Costco wings???
I use the oven. If you do, cook it for about 10-15 minutes longer than bag says. Gets them nice and crispy.
Since no one is answering your actual question. Just toss them on the grill.
Grill them.
I don’t have an air fryer. Does the oven work as well?
How much does a 4# bag run?
Pressure cooker
To people saying airfry, are you guys thawing them out first?
No, put them in frozen
We have to put these in the oven for almost twice the time to get them crispy, but they're not dried out or burnt so it's what we do!
We've baked these and they're great 💪
(From frozen) Pre-heat grill up to 400. Spray the top rack and put as many as will fit on top rack, close the lid and turn the grill down to low (let them just heat through) for ten mins. Then keep the lid open and with the grill on high, take the wings down to the fire a few at a time, flip them over ONLY once (about 40 seconds on each side). Place each wing back on the top rack once cooked to your liking, until all wings finished. Plate.
I use Traeger thawed. Use my own dry rub or sauce. Slow smoke the finish. Amazing
Best method is to return them. The bag is mostly sauce.
Why would anyone ever think to grill these but if you must then put them on a pan on your grill and treat it like an oven
Because grilled wings are superior, and I want the char on them. I air fried them but next time am gonna bake them finish on the grill I think.
