Take your next tailgate, watch party or weeknight dinner to the next level by learning how to make air-fryer chicken wings. They're just as crispy as deep-fried wings and cook faster than oven-baked wings.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon each ground mustard, ginger and nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12 whole chicken wings (2-1/2 pounds)
  • Optional: Ranch salad dressing, Buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 300°. In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, garlic salt, mustard, ginger, nutmeg, pepper, allspice, baking soda and cayenne.
  2. Cut chicken wings into 3 sections; discard wing tips. Add to bowl with spices and stir to coat. In batches, arrange wings in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 15 minutes. Increase temperature to 400°; cook until chicken juices run clear and wings are golden brown, 20-25 minutes, turning once. Repeat with remaining wings. Serve hot, with dressing or sauce if desired.
