Our Test Kitchen tried the oven, air fryer, stovetop, and the microwavehere’s what worked best.
Here are our preferred ways of reheating wings, from worst to first.
The air fryer is a convection oven that heats food evenly by circulating air in the basket.

Not only is it great for reheating, it also makes super-crispy wings.
The only reason this method isn’t our favorite is because it doesn’t work for all wings.
If your wings are already sauced, skip the skilletthey’ll stick and burn.

However, if you’re in a hurry and you don’t mind less-than-crispy wings, be our guest.
Use cooking spray to coat the wings before pan-frying for about five minutes.
Add oil to the pan to help the chicken wings retain a crispy texture.
Using foil makes cleanup easy.
