Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings 🍗⚡
Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and much healthier than deep-fried—perfect for game day or a quick snack.
🧾 Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Optional: buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, or honey garlic sauce for tossing
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat air fryer
- Set to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
2️⃣ Season wings
- Pat wings dry with paper towels.
- Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until coated.
3️⃣ Air fry wings
- Place wings in a single layer in the basket (don’t overcrowd).
- Cook 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
4️⃣ Optional sauce
- Toss wings in buffalo sauce or your favorite glaze immediately after cooking.
5️⃣ Serve

⭐ Tips
- Patting wings dry is key for crispiness.
- For extra-crispy wings, air fry 2–3 minutes longer at the end.
- Can also be cooked in batches if your air fryer is small.
