Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- If adding sauce, toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauce (like buffalo or BBQ) immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the dry rub.
- If cooking from frozen, add an additional 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
