Dry the wings really well with paper towels and place them in a medium bowl.

Add the salt, chili powder, garlic, and baking powder. Gently rub the seasoning all over the wings, ensuring even coverage. Set aside.

Lightly rub the cooking rack of your air fryer with some cooking oil to reduce sticking.

Arrange the chicken wings on the rack so that there is some space between the wings to allow for free air circulation.

Place the rack with the wings inside your air fryer. Set the temperature to 410°F and the cooking time to 20 minutes. Press start.

If your air fryer only goes to 400°F, set the temperature to 400°F and the cooking time to 22 minutes.

If you like your wings extra crispy, add 5 more minutes to the times above.

When the time is up, check your wings for doneness. They should be deep golden brown. If not, let them cook for another 3-5 minutes.

Carefully remove the wings from the air fryer and arrange them on a plate or serving platter.

Serve immediately. If tossing with a hot wing sauce or BBQ sauce, let the wings rest for 5 minutes before applying the sauce.
