Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (the key to extra crisp!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Your favorite wing sauce for tossing
Instructions:
-
Preheat for Perfect Crisping: Get your air fryer ready to work its magic by preheating it to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
-
Season Like a Pro: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with the baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated in this crispy-making magic powder.
-
Air Fry in Batches (if needed): Once your air fryer is preheated, arrange the chicken wings in a single layer inside the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches.
-
Crisp to Perfection (25-30 minutes): Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crisping. You’re aiming for golden brown and crispy perfection.
-
Cool and Sauce (optional): Once the wings are cooked through and beautifully crispy, take them out of the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
If you’re craving that saucy goodness, toss the cooked wings in your favorite wing sauce until they’re evenly coated.
