Crispy and flavorful keto-friendly chicken wings cooked quickly in the air fryer. Perfectly seasoned and low-carb, these wings are an ideal snack or appetizer for anyone following a ketogenic diet.
2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings separated at the joint
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Add the baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the bowl with the wings.
Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning and baking powder mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, flip the wings over and continue cooking for an additional 12-13 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
