How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Set timer to 5 minutes.
Combine chicken wings and olive oil in a large bowl, tossing gently until evenly coated.
Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the wings and mix until thoroughly seasoned.
Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until wings are golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Optional: Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dip for a delightful pairing. Allow wings to rest for a few minutes after cooking for optimal texture.
