Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs Chicken Wings, separated into drumettes and flats
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional, for heat)
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Your favorite Wing Sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, Teriyaki, etc.)
Instructions
Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure the wings are evenly coated with the spices.
Air Fry the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the Wings: Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Sauce the Wings (Optional): If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite wing sauce. Return them to the air fryer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.
