Crispy and flavorful air fryer chicken wings seasoned with paprika and garlic powder, perfect as a quick and delicious appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 1 pound chicken wings (split into flats and drummettes)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)

For Serving

  • Chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • Ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Basket: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Once heated, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder to coat evenly. Season well with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  3. First Stage Cooking: Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket making sure they are not touching to allow proper air circulation. Cook the wings for 10 minutes at 380°F to start the cooking process.
  4. Crisp at Higher Heat: After 10 minutes, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F. Continue cooking the wings for an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and color. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to achieve crispiness.
  • Patting the wings dry is key to getting crispy skin.
  • Adjust seasoning to preference, you can add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Ranch dressing adds a creamy contrast but is optional.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
