Description
An easy and delicious recipe for crispy chicken wings cooked in an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- ½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 400℉.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Trim any excess fat or skin from the chicken wings if needed. Lightly pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel and place the wings into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and prepared seasoning and toss to coat the wings evenly with the seasonings.
- Evenly spread the wings out onto the basket or tray of your air-fryer, being sure to not overlap the wings. Cook for 10 minutes at 400℉.
- Remove the basket or tray, flip the chicken wings, and air fry for another 8 minutes at 400℉.
- Serve immediately or toss with sauce if desired before serving.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Make sure wings are dry for maximum crispiness.
