Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Wings: Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

  • Air Fry the Wings: Place the marinated wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  • Add Hot Sauce: Once the wings are cooked and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Brush them with hot sauce to add an extra kick.
