Description
Enjoy a plate of crispy air fryer chicken wings, perfect for gatherings and cozy nights. Simple to make with juicy chicken and savory spices.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: hot sauce for tossing
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the wings.
- Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.
- Coat the wings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss in the chicken wings until they are well coated.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow hot air to circulate properly.
- Air fry the wings: Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. For extra crisp, increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for the last five minutes.
Notes
Ensure wings are dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness. Use a meat thermometer; internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
