Description
Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings: Discover the Secret to Perfection!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Your favorite wing sauce (e.g., buffalo, barbecue) for tossing
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them become crispy.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss them with your favorite wing sauce.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing, if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- Try different seasonings like lemon pepper or teriyaki for a unique flavor twist.
