Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Fresh or thawed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances crispiness
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Can swap for garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds color and smokiness
  • to taste Buffalo Sauce (optional) Use after cooking for spice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thoroughly dry chicken wings with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Cooking

  • Arrange seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 25 minutes, turning wings halfway through.
  • For buffalo-style wings, toss cooked wings in buffalo sauce right after cooking.

Notes

For ultra-crispy wings, cook an additional 5 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
