Why does nobody talk about air frying frozen chicken wings straight from the bag?

I was in my kitchen last Tuesday night, starving after a long day of installing laminate in a 3 bedroom house, and I threw a bag of frozen wings into my air fryer at 380. Big mistake. The outside charred up in like 8 minutes while the inside was still cold and rubbery. I had to pull them out, let them thaw for 20 minutes, then run them again at 360 for 12 more minutes with a flip halfway. It turned out okay but not great. Has anyone found a reliable way to get frozen wings crispy throughout without thawing first? I am tired of guessing and ending up with burnt tips and raw centers.

I did mine at 370 for 20 minutes flipping halfway and they came out perfect.

Started off so hopeful with my first batch... tossed a bag of frozen party wings in at 400 degrees like some kind of mad scientist. The smoke alarm went off in like 6 minutes and I pulled out wings that looked like they'd been in a house fire on the outside but were still cold in the middle near the bone. Ended up having to cut all the meat off and just eat the pieces like some kind of weird wing salad situation.
