Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Wings that will give you crispy, flavorful wings without all the extra oil!

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: your favorite wing sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Wings:
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
2. Season the Wings:
   • In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the Wings:
   • Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
5. Check for Doneness:
   • The wings should be crispy and golden brown. You can check that they are cooked through by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Toss in Sauce (Optional):
   • If you’d like to add sauce, transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss them with your favorite sauce until well coated.
7. Serve:
   • Serve immediately with celery sticks and your choice of dipping sauce (like ranch or blue cheese).

Tips:

• Batch Cooking: Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding.
• Crispier Wings: For extra crispiness, you can spray the wings lightly with cooking spray before air frying.

Enjoy your delicious air-fried chicken wings!
