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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture ensures the wings become crispy during cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
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, being sure not to overcrowd them. If necessary, cook them in batches.
Step 7
Cook the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the wings plain or with your choice of Whole30-approved dipping sauce or garnished with fresh herbs.
