Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Fresh or frozen, adjust time for frozen
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust according to dietary preferences
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Swap with cayenne for spicier wings

For the Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic is a great alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Omit for a milder flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Use smoked paprika for deeper richness

Variation Ideas

  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce Mix of soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Spice Mix Store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce For coating after cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Combine with olive oil and fresh herbs for marination

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the chicken wings with olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overlapping. Cook for 25-30 minutes.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking around the 15-minute mark for even cooking.
  • Check for doneness using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, toss cooked wings in buffalo sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat in air fryer for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness.
