Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs chicken wings split into drums and flats, patted dry
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp baking powder optional, for extra crispiness
Instructions
- Pat the wings thoroughly with paper towels to get them as dry as possible.
- If using the baking powder, sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat.
- In a bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss the wings in the seasoning until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, flip, and cook for another 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove and enjoy.
Notes
- Be sure to dry the wings as much as possible. Pat them dry using multiple dry towels or paper towels. You might think this unnecessary but you will thank me later
- Don't skip the baking powder step. It make the skin super crispy.
- Be sure to leave room between each of the wings for the air to circulate. If you overcrowd the basket, the wings will "steam" and not get crispy.
- Switch up the seasonings and try something new like my chicken taco seasoning or steak seasoning!
