Cooking Instructions
- Pat 18-20 chicken wings very dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
- In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. If using, stir in 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder. Add wings and toss until fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes.
- Place wings in a single layer with space between each piece. Cook in batches if needed.
- Cook at 400°F for 24-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Wings are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is golden and crisp. Let rest 5 minutes before saucing.
- Toss hot wings with ½ to ¾ cup sauce until coated and serve immediately. Let rest 2-3 minutes so the sauce sticks.
Notes
Pat wings very dry for the crispiest skin. Do not overcrowd the basket or wings will steam instead of crisp. Flip halfway for even browning. Baking powder helps crisp skin but is optional. Check early since air fryer models vary. Wings are done at 165°F internal temperature. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
