Ingredients:

• 12 whole chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup buffalo hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare Wings: Cut the wings into pieces, resulting in 24 wings.
2. Preheat Air Fryer: Set to 380°F and prepare the basket.
3. Season Wings: In a large bowl, combine the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, and baking powder. Mix well.
4. Air Fry: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F for 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. For extra crispiness, increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a digital meat thermometer.

Pro Tips for Perfect Crispy Wings:

• Pat Dry: Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings before seasoning.
• Baking Powder: This ingredient helps achieve a crispy texture.
• Single Layer: Arrange wings in a single layer with some space between them for even cooking and crispiness.
• Flip Regularly: Toss the wings every 3-5 minutes for uniform cooking.
• Temperature Trick: Start at 380°F and then increase to 400°F for the final minutes to get juicy wings with crispy skin.

Variations of Chicken Wing Flavors:

• Dipping Sauces: Try Buffalo, Ranch, Blue Cheese, or BBQ.
• Wing Sauces: Experiment with Honey Garlic, Honey Mustard, or different BBQ flavors.
• Seasonings: Explore flavors like Chipotle, Sriracha, Lemon Pepper, Old Bay, or Jamaican Jerk.

FAQs:

• Storing Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 380°F for 2 minutes or until heated through.
• Dipping Sauces: Serve with Ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or blue cheese. You can also use a dry rub for added flavor.
• Side Ideas: Pair wings with mozzarella sticks, carrot sticks, celery sticks, potato skins, jalapeño poppers, or mini cheese puffs.
• Frozen Wings: Cook at 400°F for 23-25 minutes, checking and breaking them apart as needed.

What You’ll Need:

• Air Fryer: A reliable model like the Cosori works great.
• Wing Sauce: I recommend using a base hot wing sauce with Tabasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce.
• Extras: Silicone pad, nonstick cooking spray, or olive oil.

Ingredients:

• 12 whole chicken wings (which will yield 24 pieces once cut)
• Favorite sauce (homemade with cayenne pepper, butter, and hot sauce, or store-bought)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (for extra crispy skin)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Wings: Cut the wings into pieces to get 24 individual wings.
2. Preheat Air Fryer: Set to 380°F (193°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes. Prepare the air fryer basket if needed.
3. Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until well coated.
4. Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. For extra crispiness, increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for the last 2 minutes. Ensure the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) with a digital meat thermometer.
5. Serve: Carefully remove the wings from the air fryer, toss them in your favorite sauce, and serve with your favorite sides.

Note: This recipe was made using the Cosori Air Fryer. Cooking times may vary with different models, and smaller wings may cook faster.
