Equipment

  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Prep the Wings:
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
  3. Season the Wings:
  4. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat the Air Fryer:
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  7. Cook the Wings:
  8. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer without overcrowding.
  9. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. The wings should be golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  10. Toss in Sauce (Optional):
  11. If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  12. Serve and Enjoy:
  13. Serve the wings hot with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
