Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture ensures the wings become crispy during cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
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, being sure not to overcrowd them. If necessary, cook them in batches.
Cook the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
After 25 minutes, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to enhance crispiness.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the wings plain or with your choice of Whole30-approved dipping sauce or garnished with fresh herbs.
