Ingredients
Scale
Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Seasonings
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the wings start cooking in a hot environment for maximum crispness.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chicken wings along with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil.
- Coat the Wings: Toss all the wings thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil mixture, ensuring consistent flavor.
- Arrange Wings in Air Fryer: Place the wings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Cook Wings: Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Check Doneness: Ensure wings are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and fully cooked inside by checking their texture and color.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to maintain crisp texture.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; add extra salt or pepper if desired.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or spicy mayo.
- Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for best results.
