Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Kitchen tong

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (1kg) chicken wings frozen
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • ½ tbsp salt or to taste
  • sriracha sauce optional
  • buffalo sauce optional
  • ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing optional

Instructions

  • Place frozen chicken wings in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8 minutes at 400F. (If using thawed chicken wings, skip this step).
  • Break apart the chicken wings, and transfer to a bowl. Remove any liquid from the drain pan and basket. (If using chicken wings separated into individual pieces, skip this step).
  • Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oil to the chicken wings and toss.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, air fry at 400 F for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook for another 10 mins. If using a thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165 F.
  • Bring out the chicken wings, toss in dry rub, sriracha, or buffalo sauce, and enjoy!.

Notes

Tips

  • You can use any dry rub of your choice to season the chicken wings. Some of my favorites are lemon pepper, cajun, peri peri, and jerk seasoning.
  • Don't overload the air fryer basket. It's best to arrange the chicken wings in a single file and not over each other.
  • Do not use Aerosol in your air fryer, use a spray bottle or brush to apply oil to food in the air fryer.
  • Clean air fryer basket tray after cooking each batch if not using parchment paper to avoid smoking.
  • Cooking time may vary based on air fryer model, and thickness of the chicken wings so adjust time accordingly.
