Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed coconut oil spray
Instructions
1. Start by patting dry the chicken wings with paper towels. This helps to remove moisture which in turn makes the wings crispy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture, ensuring each wing is evenly coated.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
6. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between them for even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
7. Cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are equally crispy.
8. Once done, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
9. Serve the wings immediately, plain or with Whole30-compliant dipping sauces of your choice.
