Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 900 g Chicken wings, drumettes and flats separated
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F / 193°C for 3 minutes.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels, then toss with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  4. Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C.
  5. Check at 18 minutes — the wings should be deeply golden with crisp skin, and add 2 more minutes if needed.
  6. Toss immediately with buffalo, BBQ, garlic Parmesan, or your favorite sauce and serve hot.
