Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings (for beginners)
Perfect for beginners, this recipe delivers delicious crispy chicken wings using your air fryer!
Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity Chicken wings, separated at the joint (drumettes and flats)1 poundOlive oil1 tablespoonPaprika1 teaspoon Garlic powder1/2 teaspoon onionpowder1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper(optional, for a kick)1/4 teaspoon salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any surface moisture. This helps ensure crispier wings.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for air circulation. Don’t overcrowd the basket, or the wings won’t crisp properly.
- Air fry for 20–25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the wing is ideal.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to be redistributed for a more flavorful bite.
- Serve your crispy chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or hot sauce. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, you can crank up the heat to 425°F (220°C) for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different seasonings! You can try using a store-bought spice blend or create your own using your favorite herbs and spices.
