Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 1 pound chicken wings split into drummettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Serving

  • Ranch dressing for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and preheat it to 400°F (205°C) to ensure the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
  2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (if using) until evenly coated for optimum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip the wings using tongs to promote even cooking. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Adjust timing slightly for wing size variations.
  4. Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer and serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to dry the wings thoroughly before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding your favorite spices or sauces after air frying.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and wing size; always check doneness before serving.
