  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

These air fryer chicken wings are perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, making them a great appetizer or game-day snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • Your favorite wing sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  4. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
  5. If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite wing sauce before serving.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes, but monitor closely to avoid burning.
  • If you like your wings extra saucy, toss them in sauce after cooking and return to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
