Discover the secret to perfectly crispy air fryer chicken wings that are juicy inside, golden outside, and cooked with zero oil. This easy, family-friendly recipe delivers restaurant-quality wings in under 30 minutes,ideal for game day, weeknight dinners, or party snacks. Gluten-free option included.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness — gluten-free option)
  • Optional dipping sauces: ranch, blue cheese, or honey sriracha

Method

Step 1

Pat Dry: Thoroughly dry chicken wings with paper towels — this is key for crispiness.

Step 2

Season: In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 3

Preheat Air Fryer: Set air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cook in Batches: Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd). Cook for 12 minutes.

Step 5

Flip & Cook Again: Flip wings, then cook another 10–13 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is deeply golden and crispy.

Step 6

Rest & Serve: Let wings rest 2–3 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
