Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings flats and drumettes separated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, place the chicken wings and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
- Drizzle olive oil over the dried chicken wings, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the wings. Continue to air fry for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate wings for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or a spicy buffalo sauce. Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness to avoid steaming.
