I'd think doing them in the air fryer would pretty much
eliminate the fat in the wings plus they'd only get a
spritz of fat to crisp and brown them.  Any fat in the
wings would drip off and this is assuming no breading
on the wings as well.  Just do them like the ones in
Leo's photo.  Naked but spiced up.

The thing about fat and chicken wings is that the fat in chicken in
under the skin and there is a lot of skin for unit volume.  Maybe
pricking them would render fat out to help crisp it up. Maybe I should
try it in my new air fryer. There is more room to spread them out than
there had been in the old one.

I would think pricking the skin would release the fat
under the skin.  If you do this method, report back and
let us know if you can detect any less fat.
