Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by patting your chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika, tossing until evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Carefully place your seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Set your air fryer to cook the wings for 20 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket gently. After 20 minutes, flip each wing and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Once crispy, transfer to a large bowl and lightly drizzle with your favorite sauce, tossing gently.

Ensure wings are bone-dry before seasoning and place them in a single layer for even cooking. Drizzle sauce just before serving to maintain crispiness.
