Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon 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
- lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
- chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them get crispy.
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 until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the coated chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray.
Air fry the chicken wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.
Check the wings' internal temperature to ensure they reach at least 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Once done, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
