Ingredients
1 lb (450g) chicken wings (whole or split)
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
Clean and pat chicken wings dry with paper towels
In a bowl, mix baking soda, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
Toss chicken wings in the dry mix to coat evenly
Place wings in air fryer basket in a single layer
Spray lightly with neutral oil
Air fry for 5 minutes, then flip wings
Air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden
Notes
For gluten-free results, use cornstarch instead of flour
Crispiness is best when cooking small batches
Brush with sauce (BBQ, hot honey, or buffalo) immediately after cooking for maximum crunch
