Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• •1.2 kg (about 2.5 lb) chicken wings, split at joint, tips removed
• •1 tbsp baking powder
• •1 tsp garlic powder
• •1 tsp onion powder
• •1 tsp smoked paprika
• •1 tsp salt
• •½ tsp black pepper
• •⅓ cup Frank's RedHot sauce
• •3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. 1Pat wings completely dry with paper towels — this is the key to crispiness.
2. 2Toss wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. 3Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed.
4. 4Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. 5Increase to 205°C (400°F) and cook an additional 5 minutes until skin is deep golden and crackling.
6. 6Stir together Frank's RedHot and melted butter in a large bowl.
7. 7Toss hot wings in buffalo sauce and serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.

💡 Baking powder (not baking soda) draws moisture to the surface and is the secret to restaurant-crispy skin. Pat wings dry the night before and refrigerate uncovered for even crispier results.
