Ingredients

1 lb chicken wings (separated into drummettes and flats)
1/2 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp neutral oil (I used avocado oil)

Cuisine

American

Steps

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, season the chicken wings with salt and white pepper along with baking powder and neutral oil. Mix until the wings are evenly coated.
In a single layer, place the chicken wings in the air fryer ensuring they do not touch each other, and air fry for 10 minutes at 400F.
Flip the chicken wings and air fry again for 5-11 minutes at 400F (depending on the size of the wings - see note below) or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Serve with your favorite wing sauce or eat dry and enjoy!

Excellent crispness!

Loved these - perfectly crisp and juicy. I am originally from Buffalo and these are as good as the best wing places in Buffalo when I visit. I am so picky about wing skin crispiness and I got these to be spot on! First time making wings in my new air fryer and so happy. Will probably make more next week!

Tried many recipes and this one is by far the best. Very crisp. I prefer dipping my cooked wings after air frying; that way, you can enjoy the super crispness that this recipe yields.
