Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Description
The recipe uses simple seasonings—paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper—tossed with olive oil to coat the chicken wings before cooking. Air frying at first a moderate temperature and then a higher heat crisps the skin while keeping the meat juicy. The wings are spaced to avoid crowding, allowing hot air circulation for even cooking and browning. Fresh parsley adds a subtle herbaceous note and color contrast.
This approach to chicken wings offers a less greasy alternative to deep frying yet still yields a crunch on the outside and tender meat inside. Serving with ranch dressing provides a cool and creamy balance to the savory wings. The recipe includes preparations for flats and drummettes, typical wing cuts, making for a familiar texture and bite.
Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers refrigerated for up to four days. Reheating can be done in the air fryer or microwave, with the air fryer recommended for crispiness. Wings also freeze well for up to a month and should be thawed overnight in the fridge prior to reheating.
Ingredients
- cooking spray for air fryer basket
- 1 pound chicken wings split into flats and drummettes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley for serving, chopped
- ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. When heated, spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken wings dry. Then transfer them to a large bowl. Toss the wings with olive oil, paprika and garlic powder; then season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer so they are not touching. Cook for 10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F, and cook until crisp and golden, about 6-8 more minutes.
- Garnish the chicken wings with parsley, and serve with ranch dressing on the side, if desired
Notes
- Store leftover wings refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
- Reheat wings in the air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes to regain crispness.
- Wings freeze well for up to one month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
