Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound split chicken wings Juicy cuts with a balance of meat and skin.
  • 1 tablespoon oil Adds richness and helps seasonings adhere.
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch Crucial for a crunchy exterior.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds earthy and aromatic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt Elevates the taste.
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper Adds a hint of spice.
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika Provides smokiness and color.
  • ⅓ cup Buffalo sauce For a spicy kick; can substitute or omit.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400℉ for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels in a medium bowl.
  3. Drizzle oil over the chicken wings for a light coating.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine corn starch, garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle over the wings and toss until thoroughly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning the wings halfway through using tongs.
  3. Toss the cooked wings in Buffalo sauce or serve uncoated.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for perfect crispiness. Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure juiciness.
