Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried wings. This recipe uses the air fryer to achieve perfectly crispy and golden wings without the need for excessive oil.

Seasoned with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and other flavorful spices, these chicken wings are coated in a light layer of baking powder, which helps them become extra crispy. The air fryer cooks them evenly, resulting in tender, juicy meat inside and a crispy exterior that rivals that of fried wings.

Perfect for game days, parties, or a satisfying weeknight snack, these crispy wings are easy to prepare and require minimal cleanup. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy a crunchy, flavorful treat that’s sure to be a hit with everyone.

Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp baking powder (for extra crispiness)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them become extra crispy.
3. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure the wings are evenly coated.
4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s okay if they touch slightly but try to avoid overcrowding for the best results. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
5. Cook: Air fry the wings at 360°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy. You can adjust the cooking time if needed, depending on the size of the wings and how crispy you like them.
6. Serve: Once cooked, let the wings rest for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
