Air Fryer Chicken Wings Recipe
Report
These air fryer chicken wings are just as crispy as fried chicken wings without the oil, so easy to make, with much less mess! I make mine nice and spicy. Let's make some tonight!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings wing tips removed and separated - fresh/thawed, not frozen
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasonings - or use your favorite seasoning blend
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings as dry as you can with paper towels.
- Set the chicken wings into a large bowl and toss them with the baking powder, Cajun seasonings, and salt and pepper, to evenly coat the skin. *See the Recipe Notes for information about crispier chicken wings.
- Oil the air fryer basket with vegetable oil and set the seasoned chicken wings into the air fryer basket in an even layer. Air fry at 250 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken wings, then set the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F. Air fry for another 15-20 minutes, or to your desired crispiness. Internal temperature of chicken wings should reach 165 degrees F internally when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove and serve. Toss with your favorite wing sauce!
Notes
- *For the crispiest air fryer chicken wings, drying out the chicken wings skins is essential. Baking powder is a well-known ingredient used to help draw moisture from the skin, so it is best to let the chicken wings set at least a few minutes after seasoning, then pat a bit dry as needed.
- Refrigerate the Seasoned Wings for Better Results. I love to set my seasoned chicken wings into the refrigerator in a bowl for a few hours, or overnight, to let them dry out even further. This results in the most amazing crispy air fryer chicken wings every time.
- Toss your wings with your favorite hot sauce or wings sauce, or enjoy them as they are!
