Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Print Recipe

Crispy wings with less oil in under 30 minutes. These wings get super crunchy with a baking powder and cornstarch trick. Here I use a simple dry rub but feel free to swap in your favorite spices to make it your own.

Ingredients

▢ 1.5 pound chicken wings (combination of wingette and drumette))
▢ 2 tsp paprika
▢ 1 tsp garlic powder
▢ 1 tsp onion powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ black pepper (to taste)
▢ 1 tbsp cornstarch
▢ 1 tsp baking powder (NOT baking soda)
▢ 1 tbsp vegetable oil (I used canola)

Instructions

  • Pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel. Place in a large bowl. Season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure all the wings are evenly coated.
  • Brush the basket with oil. Pre-heat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
  • Dredge the chicken wings in a mixture of baking powder and cornstarch. To prevent any white residue, drizzle with a little vegetable oil and toss again to coat evenly.
  • Place the wings in the air-fryer basket in a single layer. They should just fit snugly. They will shrink when they cook. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Air-fry for 10 minutes then turn the wings to the other side and air-fry for another 8 to 10 minutes until crispy all over. Check doneness after a total of 18 minutes of cooking time.

Recipe Notes & Tips:

  1. Other dry rubs you can use are cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, chipotle chili powder, lemon pepper, and cayenne if you prefer it spicy.
