Air-fried chicken wings are a healthier alternative to traditional fried wings, offering the same crispy texture and delicious flavor without the excess oil. Here’s a simple recipe to make air-fried chicken wings:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (about 900g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, etc.
- Your favorite wing sauce or seasoning for tossing (such as buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings until evenly coated. The baking powder helps to crisp up the wings.
- Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the chicken wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the wings, so keep an eye on them.
- Once the chicken wings are cooked through and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Toss the cooked wings with your favorite wing sauce or seasoning until they are evenly coated.
- Serve the air-fried chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious air-fried chicken wings as a tasty appetizer, snack, or main dish!
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and sauces to customize the flavor of your air-fried chicken wings to your liking.
