Ingredients
Cooking spray (for the air fryer basket)
1 lb chicken wings (split into flats and drummettes)
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Ranch dressing (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Once heated, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels, then transfer them into a large mixing bowl.
Toss the wings with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch.
Cook the wings at 380°F for 10 minutes, then raise the temperature to 400°F and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Once done, garnish the wings with chopped parsley and serve with ranch dressing on the side if desired.
