Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and baking powder.
Pat the wingettes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up.
Coat the wingettes with avocado oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wingettes and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spices.
Place the wingettes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Work in batches if necessary.
Air fry the wingettes at 400°F (200°C) for 12-13 minutes. Flip the wings and continue to cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wingettes from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your Whole30-compliant air fried wingettes with your favorite Whole30-approved dipping sauce.
