Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

This recipe is definitely a crowd pleaser and is perfect for an appetizer or for game day! You only need a handful of ingredients and 15 minutes to make these delicious and crispy wings. I love to dip my wings, rather than fully coat in sauce, in order to keep them crispy on the outside. I love to do a classic mix of buffalo and ranch, as these flavors go so well together!

Description

My crispy chicken wings are so flavorful and juicy! The recipe requires just a few ingredients and only 15 minutes to cook. Try them out - you will not be disappointed!

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil, or any vegetable oil
  • Sauces - Buffalo, BBQ, Ranch, etc (for serving)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 F if needed. Pat dry your chicken wings. Toss the wings in a bowl first with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use tongs or your hands to evenly coat.
  2. Next, add the cornstarch and evenly coat.
  3. Drizzle over the oil and toss once more to evenly coat.
  4. Add wings to the air fryer basket and cook at 400 F for about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Ensure the wings are thoroughly cooked (should reach internal temperature of 165 F).
  5. Toss in your favorite sauce or just dip them in and enjoy!
Notes

To cook these in the oven, preheat the oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking sheet with foil. Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Add the prepared wings to the pan and cook for 20 minutes. Flip and then cook for an additional 15 minutes. Enjoy!
