Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Air Fryer Chicken Wings have crisp salty skin with a hint of garlic and lemon pepper in every bite. These are seasoned to perfection and cook so fast with no marinating required!
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings, split into flats and drummettes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic salt, or add to taste*
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 tsp baking powder, optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly pat dry chicken wings with paper towels and place in a mixing bowl.
- Coat in 1 Tbsp oil. Combine the garlic salt and lemon pepper seasonings and baking powder (if using) then sprinkle over the chicken and toss to evenly coat wings with seasoning.
- Place on air frying basket, spacing evenly and air fry at 400˚F for 8 minutes, then flip and air fry another 8 minutes for a total of 16 minutes, or until chicken wings are crisp and golden brown on the outside.
Notes
*Seasoning tip: If you love a saltier skin, add 1 1/2 tsp of garlic salt. You can also substitute 1 tsp of garlic salt with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
*For Extra Crispy Wings: Adding baking powder helps dry out the wings for extra crispy skins.
*If doubling the recipe: If your air fryer basket is too small to hold a double portion of the chicken wings in a single layer, line up the wings standing upright along the sides of the air fryer to maximize the space. Also, it's easier to fit a double batch in a larger toaster oven-style air fryer. When doubling the recipe, air fry for 18-22 minutes, or until the skin is crisp, flipping the wings halfway.
Storing and Reheating Leftover Chicken Wings: Once the chicken wings are cooled to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. You can re-crisp them in the air fryer at 400˚F for 4 to 5 minutes.
