03 -
1 tsp garlic powder
04 -
1 tsp smoked paprika
05 -
1 tsp onion powder

# Instructions:
01 -
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up in the air fryer.
02 -
In a large bowl, drizzle the wings with olive oil. Then, sprinkle on all the spices. Toss everything together to coat the wings evenly.
03 -
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd them!
04 -
Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure even cooking.
05 -
After 20-25 minutes, check for crispiness. If they're golden brown and crispy, you’re good to go. If not, give them a few more minutes.
06 -
Carefully remove the wings from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
Patting the wings dry is crucial for crispy skin! Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the wings will steam instead of crisp. Every air fryer cooks differently, so adjust cooking time as needed. Leftovers are great cold or reheated in the air fryer.
