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

  1. If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 400℉.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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℉.
  5. Remove the basket or tray, flip the chicken wings, and air fry for another 8 minutes at 400℉.
  6. Serve immediately or toss with sauce if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Make sure wings are dry for maximum crispiness.
