Extra-Crispy Air Fryer Wings

I recommend that you use a rub or seasoning that doesn't contain sugar when you make air fryer wings.

Equipment

Ingredients

6 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
½ teaspoon baking powder not baking soda
1 teaspoon Your favorite wing seasoning or more. avoid seasonings containing sugar
Your favorite wing sauce if desired. warmed, if refrigerated

Instructions

Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation.
Toss the wing flats and drumettes with the seasoning.
Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
Remove and toss with your favorite wing sauce or sprinkle with more seasoning.

Notes

I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.
