Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Fresh or frozen, thawed beforehand.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps achieve crispy perfection.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Gives the wings their irresistible kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds mild smokiness and color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adjust to taste for heat.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning balance.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for seasoning balance.
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic Minced and added before serving.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  2. 5 minutes before cooking time ends, toss in the minced garlic to infuse flavor.
  3. After cooking, remove the wings and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added heat, consider hot sauce in the oil coating. Pair with a salad or coleslaw for a complete meal. Wings can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the air fryer for crispy texture.
