Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken wings (Cut into flats and drums)
  • 1 tbsp oil (I usually use olive oil)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper (To taste)

Instructions
 

  • Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel to remove all of their moisture.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and season with the oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well (You can use your hands) to evenly coat the chicken wings.
  • Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t overlap or touch each other. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. Remove the basket from the air fryer, flip over the chicken wings, and cook for another 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve plain or toss in your favorite sauce and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. The wings should also not overlap or touch each other to ensure they turn out nice and crispy.
  • You can toss them in your favorite sauce, but keep in mind that they may lose some of their crispy texture when covered in sauce.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. You can then reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for about 4 minutes.
  • You can also freeze fully cooked chicken wings in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for about 12 minutes.
