Equipment
- Air fryer
- Large mixing bowl
- Tongs
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 2 lbs free-range chicken wings
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the chicken wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, making sure each wing is evenly coated.
- Season the wings: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the wings: Air fry the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- Check for doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken wings reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
