Wings and Oil
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes if not already
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional; omit for oil-free) Can be skipped for an oil-free version.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can be used for a smoky flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes if your model recommends preheating.
Cooking
  1. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd; work in batches if needed.
  2. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Shake the basket or flip the wings to promote even browning.
  3. Continue cooking for another 8–12 minutes, checking for a deep golden color and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra crispness, add 2–4 minutes.
  4. Transfer wings to a large bowl, add your sauce, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a crispy skin, make sure the wings are well-dried. You can refrigerate the wings uncovered for 30 minutes before cooking. Avoid overcooking and microwaving to keep the wings crispy.
