Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Description
The wings are first patted dry to remove moisture, ensuring crisp skin when cooked. The basket of the air fryer is oiled lightly to prevent sticking. Wings are seasoned with kosher salt, garlic and onion powders, sweet paprika, oregano, thyme, sage, and baking powder, which helps create a crunchy texture during the air-frying process. Wings cook at 400°F for 16–22 minutes, shaken halfway to promote even cooking and browning. Timing and crispness vary with air fryer model and batch size.
The seasoning blend offers a savory and herbaceous profile, while the baking powder encourages browning and skin crispness without frying. The recipe serves as a base for many flavor variations, with suggestions including Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo, Honey Sriracha, Lemon Pepper, Teriyaki, BBQ, Cajun, and Korean Gochujang sauces or seasonings, which can be applied before or after cooking for different tastes.
The wings are ideal for casual gatherings or as a versatile protein snack. Adjust cooking times and layering based on air fryer capacity to maintain a single layer for best crispness. Multiple batches may be needed with smaller appliances. The recipe encourages experimentation with favorite wing sauces for variety.
