- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat
- 1 teaspoon baking powder to enhance crispiness
Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for achieving maximum crispiness.
Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and baking powder. Toss the wings in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps in getting the wings crispy right from the start.
Air Fry the Wings: Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook them at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Check for Crispiness: If they’re not crispy enough for your liking, cook for an additional 5 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Serve: Once done, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with low carb dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese.
