📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder (for extra crispiness!)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or chili powder
🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Wings
Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. In a bowl, toss wings with olive oil, baking powder, and all the seasonings until well coated.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3–5 minutes.
Step 3: Air Fry
Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 24–26 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
🔥 Tip: For ultra-crispy wings, don’t overcrowd the basket—air circulation is key!
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces—buffalo, BBQ, ranch, or honey mustard.

For saucy wings, toss cooked wings in:
- Buffalo Sauce: ¼ cup hot sauce + 2 tbsp melted butter
