Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings separated into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Season the Wings: Drizzle the chicken wings with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter, followed by sprinkling 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for seasoning.
- Toss to Coat: Use tongs or your hands to toss the chicken wings until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each wing is well-seasoned.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.
- Air Fry the Wings: Cook the chicken wings in the preheated air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the wings are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Optional: Toss with Sauce: If desired, transfer the cooked wings to a clean mixing bowl and toss with your favorite wing sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve: Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Wings immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
