Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings Recipe
A healthier alternative to deep-fried wings with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, made in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp baking powder (helps achieve crispiness)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (optional)
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- Sauce of choice (Buffalo, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper, etc.)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes.
2️⃣ Dry & Coat the Wings
- Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Air Fry the Wings
- Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through at the 10-minute mark to ensure even crisping.
- If you prefer extra crispy wings, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4️⃣ Toss in Sauce & Serve
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and toss them in your favorite wing sauce (or serve plain for a crispy, seasoned option).
- Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
Dipping Sauce Ideas:
- Classic Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing
- Honey Garlic Glaze
- Spicy Buffalo Sauce
- Garlic Parmesan Butter
- Lemon Pepper Butter
