Nothing beats homemade chicken wings when it comes to game day or casual get-togethers. To make them perfectly crispy in your air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper for extra flavor
Preparation: Start by patting the wings dry with paper towels—removing moisture helps achieve maximum crispiness. Toss them in olive oil and seasonings; feel free to customize the spice mix based on your preferences.
Cooking: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking. Cook for about 25–30 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
Tips: For extra crunch, add a light dusting of baking powder before seasoning—the alkaline nature enhances browning. Serve with celery sticks and a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing.
