Description

These Air Fryer Chicken Wings turn out perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, every single time. Toss them in your favorite sauce or enjoy them straight out of the fryer – they make a perfect appetizer or game-day snack.


Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds chicken wings (drumettes and flats)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic sauce for tossing


Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.

3. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

5. Air fry for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

6. Toss wings in your favorite sauce or serve plain with dipping sauces.

7. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat wings completely dry before seasoning.

Don’t overcrowd the basket – cook in batches if needed.

Toss with sauces after cooking to maintain crisp texture.
