Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- as needed Olive oil spray
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until fully coated with the seasoning mixture. Ensure an even coating on all wings.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Cook the wings in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, carefully flip the wings using tongs or a fork, then continue cooking for another 15 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.
Serve the crispy air-fried chicken wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces or a splash of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
