Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings Pat dry for maximum crispiness.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Secret ingredient for crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt To enhance flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adds heat.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For savory flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder For enhanced taste.
  • Optional: your favorite wing sauce For tossing before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  4. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until completely coated.
  5. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Check for a crispy appearance and ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
  3. If desired, toss the wings in your favorite wing sauce before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure wings are evenly spaced, and watch closely to avoid overcooking. Marinating in the seasoning for a few hours enhances flavor. Serve immediately after cooking.
