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 paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the wings to ensure they are fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow for proper air circulation.
Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) during the last 5 minutes to achieve extra crispiness if desired.
Carefully remove the wings from the air fryer using tongs and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the crispy wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
