Ingredients
1 lb (450g) chicken wings (split)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
Place chicken wings on a paper towel-lined plate and pat completely dry.
Split into drumettes and flats for even cooking.
In a bowl, combine baking soda, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Coat the wings with the seasoning mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Let the wings rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to enhance browning and color.
Place the wings in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Air fry for 12 minutes, flip the wings, and cook for another 8 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure wings are fully dry before applying the coating for maximum crispiness.
If wings are crowded in the air fryer, cook in batches for even results.
Adjust seasoning levels to taste or dietary needs.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
