Ingredients

Cooking spray for the air fryer basket
1 pound chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
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 (190°C). Once heated, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. Transfer them to a large bowl. Toss the wings in olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. Then, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 360°F for 4 minutes or use the microwave until heated through.
Freezing: You can freeze cooked wings for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
