Ingredients
1.5 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. You may need to cook in batches.
Cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
Flip the wings over and cook for an additional 12 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the hot sauce with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil.
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and toss with the hot sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
