Description

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings are quick, easy, and loaded with flavor—perfect for game day, dinner, or a fun snack. No flour, no mess—just perfectly golden skin every time.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken wings

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp white pepper

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable)


Instructions

1. Pat wings dry thoroughly using paper towels.

2. Mix wings with salt, white pepper, baking powder, and oil until evenly coated.

3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

4. Arrange wings in a single layer and air fry for 10 minutes.

5. Flip wings and cook another 9–14 minutes, depending on size, until golden and crisp.

6. Serve hot with your favorite sauce or dry rub.

Notes

Make sure wings are fully dry for best crisp.

For even better results, let them rest uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking.

Use a thermometer to check internal temp (165°F).
