Description
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these Air Fryer Chicken Wings are a game-changer! With minimal oil and maximum flavor, these wings are perfectly seasoned and cooked in the air fryer, making them a healthier alternative to deep-frying while still delivering that irresistible crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (optional for extra crispiness)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the baking powder for extra crispiness if desired.
- Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the wings at 380°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the wings are dry before seasoning them to ensure they become crispy.
- For an extra crispy texture, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, checking to avoid overcooking.
- You can toss the wings in your favorite sauce (e.g., buffalo, honey garlic) after air frying for added flavor.
