Perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A healthier, faster alternative to deep-frying that delivers irresistible wings in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients :

• 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings (thawed if frozen)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Optional: Wing sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, or Honey Garlic)

Method :

1. Prep: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels (crucial for crispiness). Toss with olive oil in a bowl.
2. Season: Mix dry spices and coat the wings evenly.
3. Preheat: Set air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
4. Cook: Arrange wings in a single layer. Air fry for 12 minutes, flip, and cook for another 12 minutes.
5. Extra Crisp: Increase heat to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 5 more minutes.
6. Sauce: Toss in your favorite sauce and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes :

• Pro Tip: Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the spice mix for an even crunchier skin.
• Dry is Key: Ensure wings are completely dry before oiling to avoid steaming.
• Batch Cook: Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary for even air circulation.
• Reheat: Warm leftovers at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore the crunch.
