Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings Look for fresh wings that are plump. Frozen is fine too, but make sure to thaw them completely.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder This secret ingredient is key to achieving crispy skin. Don’t skip it; it works wonders.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adds heat; feel free to adjust.
  • to taste your favorite wing sauce Choose a sauce your family loves.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Once cooked, toss the wings in your favorite sauce or serve as is, lightly seasoned.

Notes

Serving chicken wings family-style is a great idea. Set up a fun wing bar with various sauces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Use tongs for easy handling and consider marinating wings before cooking for extra flavor.
