Instructions

1. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Massage the spices into the wings thoroughly.

2. In a separate small bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch together. Sprinkle the mixture over the seasoned wings and toss until evenly coated.

3. Arrange the coated wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each piece.

4. Lightly spray the wings with oil for extra crispiness.

5. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 8 minutes.

6. Flip the wings over and air fry for another 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

7. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, use fresh wings and pat them dry before seasoning to maximize crispiness.

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.

You can adjust spice levels by adding cayenne pepper or chili powder for heat.

Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
