Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings
  • 2 pounds chicken wings Separated into flats and drumettes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Helps seasoning stick and adds flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For savory flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds depth to flavor
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika For a smoky taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper For a bit of heat
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional for extra heat
  • fresh parsley, chopped For garnishing

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Once golden brown and crispy, remove the wings from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider using a light coating of baking powder in the seasoning mix.
