Air Fryer Recipes: Crispy Chicken Wings
Updated: Aug 15
If you want restaurant-style crispy wings without deep frying, the air fryer is the easiest way to get there. This recipe is simple, family-friendly, and perfect for game day—or a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings (drums + flats)
1 tbsp baking powder (NOT baking soda)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Optional: black pepper, cayenne, or your favorite wing sauce for tossing after cooking.
How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Pat wings very dry with paper towels (this is the key to crispiness).
In a bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Preheat air fryer to 380°F for 3–5 minutes.
Arrange wings in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
Air fry 24–28 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
Increase temperature to 400°F and cook 3–5 minutes more for extra crisp.
Rest 2 minutes, then toss in sauce (optional) and serve.
