Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Baking powder (aluminum-free)

- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until fully coated with the seasoning mixture. Ensure an even coating on all wings.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Cook the wings in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, carefully flip the wings using tongs or a fork, then continue cooking for another 15 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.
Step 10
Serve the crispy air-fried chicken wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces or a splash of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
