Air Fryer Ranch Chicken Wings
Description
To make the Air Fryer Ranch Chicken Wings, the wings are first prepped by cutting into wingettes and drumettes if necessary, discarding the tips. After patting the wings dry, they are tossed with a ranch seasoning mix and baking powder. The baking powder promotes a crisp skin as they cook in the air fryer.
The wings are air fried at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping. Then the temperature is increased to 400 degrees for an additional 6 minutes to finish them with a golden, crispy skin. An instant-read thermometer is recommended to confirm they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption.
This cooking approach allows for flavorful, crispy wings with a ranch seasoning profile, suitable for snacks or appetizers. The drying and baking powder step are key to achieving that texture without oil frying.
Paying attention to not overcrowding the air fryer basket helps ensure even cooking and crispiness. These wings work well served immediately after cooking for best texture.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 packet 2 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- If your chicken wings aren't cut apart cut them into wingettes and drumettes. Discard the wing tips.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels and put them in a zippered bag or a large bowl.
- Add the ranch seasoning mix and baking powder and toss the wings to mix.
- Put the chicken wings in an air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Keep them in a single layer.
- Air fry at 360 degrees F for 18 minutes, flipping them over after 10 minutes.
- After the 18 minutes is up increase the air fryer heat to 400 degrees F and air fry for 6 more minutes.
- Use an instant read thermometer to verify the wings are cooked to 165 degrees F.
Notes
- Pat wings dry thoroughly before seasoning to maximize crispiness when air frying.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and even cooking.
- Flipping halfway through cooking promotes uniform browning on all sides.
