Make perfectly crispy chicken wings in your air fryer for your next party or game day. This recipe offers guidance on time, temperature, and seasoning options.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: Your favorite wing sauce or dry rub

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. If using sauce, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the dry rub mixture.
  • If cooking from frozen, increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
  • Consider using a dry rub for a different flavor profile.
  • This recipe is easily scalable for larger crowds.
  • For a healthier option, explore meal planning services.
