Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 sprays olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps in achieving a crispy texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the chicken wings at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, then flip the wings and continue to cook for another 12-13 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
For extra crispiness, you can spray the wings lightly with olive oil halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their crispiness before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
