Prep the Wings:
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
Season the Wings:
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.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Cook the Wings:
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer without overcrowding.
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).
Toss in Sauce (Optional):
If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the wings hot with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
