Air Fryer Oven Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes + flats)

• 1 tbsp baking powder (NOT baking soda — helps crisp the skin)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika (optional for color/flavor)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Optional: your fave wing sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, garlic parm, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Wings:

   • Pat wings dry with paper towels (get them really dry for max crisp).

   • Toss in a bowl with baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2. Preheat Air Fryer:

   • Set to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.

3. Air Fry ‘Em:

   • Place wings in a single layer in the basket (don’t crowd them).

   • Cook at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

   • Cook longer (up to 30 min) for extra crispy.

4. Sauce or Serve:

   • Toss in your favorite wing sauce, or eat ’em plain and crispy!

   • Optional: Broil in the oven for 2–3 minutes after saucing for that sticky finish.

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Want dry rub wings? Just skip the sauce and hit them with a sprinkle of extra seasoning right after cooking.

• For lemon pepper wings, toss with melted butter + lemon pepper seasoning after cooking.
