Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390 ℉
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly brush olive oil into the air fryer basket.
  • Add the chicken wings to a large bowl along with the olive oil and seasonings. Toss to combine, making sure the wings are fully and evenly coated.
  • Place the chicken wings in an even layer in the air fryer basket making sure they don’t overlap.
  • Allow them to cook for ten minutes.
  • Flip the wings and allow the second side to cook for another 8-10 minutes or until their internal temperature is 165 ℉ and they’re crispy.

Notes

Top Tips:
  • Because there is no acid in the spice mix you can toss these in the spices and olive oil earlier in the day and then cook them later on. Just cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated until ready.
  • Use gloves when mixing your chicken to make for easy cleanup and keep it mess-free.
  • Make sure not to stack the chicken wings on top of each other in the air fryer basket. You want them spaced out so the air can circulate around them and evenly cook and crisp them up. If they’re overlapping, part of the wings will steam instead of brown. 
  • Both the size of your chicken wings and the air fryer will affect the cooking time. Always cook to temperature, in the case of chicken wings 165, and do not go just by time.
