Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken wings, split into flats and drummettes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray for air fryer basket
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
- Ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pat chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove moisture for maximum crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 6–8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Pat the wings completely dry before seasoning to help them crisp up better.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for best results.
- Reheat leftover wings in the air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freeze cooked wings for up to one month; thaw overnight before reheating.
- For extra crispy wings, add a pinch of baking powder to the seasoning mix.
