Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes, tips removed
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well to evenly coat all wings with the seasoning mixture and oil.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
Cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
While the wings cook, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce.
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic hot sauce butter over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
