Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them get crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch or overlap for even cooking. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly.
Once the wings are cooked, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy air fried wings with your favorite dipping sauce.
