Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings (fresh or thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings evenly with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully coated.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure immediate cooking and a crispy exterior.
  3. Arrange and Cook: Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
  4. Add Your Favorite Sauce or Seasoning: Once cooked, toss the wings in your preferred sauce or sprinkle additional seasonings. To maintain crispiness, add sauce just before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favorite sides or dips for a delicious, finger-licking meal.

Notes

  • Dry the wings thoroughly before seasoning for the crispiest skin.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Flip wings halfway through cooking for even golden color.
  • Adjust cooking time based on wing size; larger wings need more time, smaller wings less.
  • A light spray of oil before cooking can increase crispiness but is optional.
