Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them get crispy.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Step 3
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch or overlap for even cooking. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Cook the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly.
Step 8
Once the wings are cooked, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
Step 9
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the crispy air fried wings with your favorite dipping sauce.
