Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

- Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
