Preheat the air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Pat the chicken wingettes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the wingettes to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the baking powder over the seasoned wingettes and toss again to ensure an even coating.
Arrange the wingettes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's important to not overcrowd the basket to allow for even cooking.
Cook the wingettes in the air fryer for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
Once cooked, remove the wingettes from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the air fried wingettes hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
