Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken Wings Fresh or frozen; adjust cooking time if using frozen.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps achieve that crunchy outer layer.

Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the wings and toss well to coat.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through until golden brown and juices run clear.
- If desired, transfer the wings to a bowl and toss with your chosen sauce.
- Allow the wings to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For ultra-crispy wings, ensure they are dried before seasoning and do not overcrowd the air fryer. Consider variations with marinades for enhanced flavors.
