Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1 pound chicken wings (split into drummettes and flats)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
For Serving
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and preheat the air fryer to 400°F to ensure a hot cooking environment for crispy wings.
- Season Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Air Fry Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then use tongs to flip the wings over. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the wings are crispy and cooked through. Adjust cooking time as needed based on wing size.
- Serve: Remove wings from the air fryer and serve hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Drying the wings before seasoning ensures a crispier skin.
- Cooking times may vary depending on wing size and air fryer model.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese or your favorite dipping sauce.
- For extra crispiness, you can cook wings a few minutes longer if needed.
