In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to marinate.
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free breadcrumbs, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Remove the marinated chicken wings from the fridge and drain the excess buttermilk.
Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Lightly shake off the excess flour.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Place the coated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
Spray the wings lightly with olive oil spray for extra crispiness.
Air fry the chicken wings for 12 minutes, then carefully flip them over and continue frying for another 12-13 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
After cooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Serve the gluten-free crispy air-fried chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
