Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken wings Pat dry for crispiness
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Large bowl
  • Paper towels
  • Tongs

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare chicken wings by patting them very dry with paper towels; this step is crucial for crispy skin.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure wings are completely dry before seasoning. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and browning. These wings are delicious on their own or with a side of ranch, blue cheese, or barbecue sauce.
