Air Fryer Chicken Wings Recipe
Air fryer chicken wings seasoned with a simple paprika dry rub. Crispy skin, juicy inside, and ready in about 25 minutes with no deep frying needed.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 ½ pounds chicken wings split into flats and drummettes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. When heated, spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken wings dry. Then transfer them to a large bowl. Toss the wings with oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer skin side down so they are not touching. Cook for 10 minutes. Then flip the wings, increase the temperature to 400°F, and continue cooking until the wings are crisp and golden, about 10-13 more minutes.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch dressing, if desired.

Notes
My Top Tip: Don't skip the two-step temperature. Starting at 380°F and finishing at 400°F is what produces the crispiest skin. Running everything at one temperature will give you cooked wings, but they won't have the same crunch.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 4 days in the fridge. Reheat in an air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes or in the microwave until heated through. Freezing: Freeze the cooked wings for up to a month and thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
