Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gather chicken wings and all seasonings, black pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt, olive oil, and smoked paprika then ensure your air fryer basket is clean and ready.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) and place frozen wings inside for about 10 minutes to thaw slightly for easier seasoning.
  • Remove wings, transfer to a bowl, and toss thoroughly with all the seasonings, mixing well with tongs for even coating.
  • Arrange wings in a single or double layer in the air fryer basket with space between each piece, and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Brush wings with olive oil, flip to ensure even browning, and air fry a few more minutes until golden, crisp, and cooked through.

Notes

  • Pat chicken wings dry before seasoning for extra crispiness.
  • Lightly coat the wings with oil to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
