1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray or oil for basket
Optional: your favorite sauce

Method

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and arrange the wings in a single layer without overcrowding.
Air fry the wings for 12 minutes, flip them over, and continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes until crispy and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
Remove wings from air fryer and toss with your favorite sauce or serve plain.
