Difficulty: Easy

Crispy chicken wings are an American staple, and the air fryer does them justice: crackling golden skin outside, juicy meat within, using a fraction of the oil of deep frying. A dry rub of garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt pulls moisture from the skin before cooking, setting up that crunch you then finish with buffalo or barbecue sauce.

🛒 Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 kg of chicken wings
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Buffalo or barbecue sauce for serving

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

  1. Dry wings with paper towels: essential for crispiness.

  2. Mix spices and massage the wings.

  3. Preheat airfryer to 200°C for 5 minutes.

  4. Place without overlapping. Cook for 20 minutes, flip halfway.

  5. Increase to 220°C for the last 5 minutes for maximum crispiness.

  6. Serve immediately with sauce.

💡 Chef's tip

Dry the wings very well before seasoning. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
