Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Chicken Wings seasoned with paprika and garlic powder, cooked to golden perfection in just under 25 minutes. Perfect as a snack or appetizer served with chopped parsley and ranch dressing.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 1 pound chicken wings, split into flats and drummettes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray for air fryer basket

For Serving

  • Chopped parsley
  • Ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Once heated, spray the basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and season generously with salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Cook Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch for even crisping. Cook for 10 minutes at 380°F. Then, increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve: Remove the wings and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in an air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes or microwave until heated through.
  • Freezing Instructions: Freeze cooked wings for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best texture.
