Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Place a wire rack onto a baking sheet. Use paper towels to pat 2-3 pounds chicken wings as dry as possible and place into a large mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika (and any additional flavor additions you'd like to use). Sprinkle over chicken wings and toss until wings are evenly coated.

Place wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered overnight, 12 to 24 hours.

Preheat air fryer to 375℉ (190℃). Take wings from refrigerator and carefully place the individual wings in the air fryer making sure that there is space between them, lightly spritz with oil and cook them for 12 minutes then flip and cook for 12 more minutes.

To give them that extra crispy exterior, increase the temp to 390-400℉ and finish off cooking these for another 5-6 minutes until crispy and brown and the internal temperature reaches 165℉. Cooking time will vary based on the size of your chicken wings.

Serve with desired sauces and variations.
