Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
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, making sure they do not touch each other for even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the wings for 15 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 15 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
