Instructions

Cut and Prepare the Chicken Wings

  • Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels.Remove the wing tips and separate the drumettes and flats. 

Add Seasonings and Rest

  • Place the wings in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cooking oil. Toss until all wings are evenly coated. Set it aside for 30 minutes. 

Arrange in the Air Fryer

  • Place wings in a single layer in the basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed for best results.

Air Fry the Wings

  • Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes. Flip the wings and cook for another 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for good airflow.
  • Use baking powder, not baking soda, to make the skin puff up and get golden.
  • Serve with ranch dressing, classic tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, buffalo sauce or BBQ for dipping. 
  • As part of a snack platter add sides of nachos, fries, potato wedges, fresh celery, carrot sticks roasted or steamed veggies. 
  • Cooking time may vary depending on wing size and your air fryer. Adjust slightly until the wings are golden, crispy, and cooked through. 
  • This recipe using 1 kg (2.2 lb) of chicken wings serves about 3-4 people as a main dish, or 5-6 people as a snack or sharer, depending on appetite and what you’re serving alongside together.
