Method
- Separate wings into drumettes and flats. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, combine baking powder, corn starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Toss wings with a little oil, then coat evenly in the dry mix. Shake off excess.
- Preheat air fryer to 380 °F (193 °C). Arrange wings in a single layer in the basket.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then flip each wing. Continue cooking for 8–10 more minutes.
- For extra crisp, raise temp to 400 °F and cook 3–5 minutes more. Ensure internal temp hits ≥165 °F (74 °C).
- Immediately toss in sauce or brush lightly. Serve hot with carrots, celery, and dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
To avoid soggy wings: don't overcrowd, use a dry coating, and finish at high heat. For gluten-free or low-carb, use just corn starch. For a vegan twist, try cauliflower florets prepared the same way.
