Instructions
1
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve crispier skin.
2
In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure all wings are evenly coated.
3
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
4
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10 minutes.
5
Flip the wings and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Cook for another 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
6
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Dry Brining: For extra crispy skin, season the wings with salt and let them sit uncovered in the fridge for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- Sauce Options: Toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce like buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic for added flavor.
- Even Cooking: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
- Storage: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Double Batch: If making a large batch, cook in multiple batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
