Air fryer chicken wings come out extra crispy and are ready in twenty minutes. All you need are a few common spices, olive oil and, of course, chicken wings for this easy chicken recipe.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken wings dry and put them in the zip-top bag. Add the olive oil and spices, and then seal the bag.. Move the chicken around in the bag until the spices are fully incorporated and coat the wings completely. You could do this in a large mixing bowl, if you prefer.
12 chicken wings, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Place 4 chicken wings in the air fryer basket, or however many will fit in a single layer in your air fryer. Air fry for 10 minutes, flip them, and air fry for 5 to 8 minutes longer, checking occasionally. If you like them really crispy, add a few more minutes.
Remove the chicken, repeat for all the wings. Serve with your favorite side or dip and enjoy!

Notes
Chicken wings: I usually trim the wing tips off because there isn't much meat on them. The wings can be cut at the joint, too, making 2 parts: drumettes and wingettes. These are especially good if you're serving chicken wings for an appetizer.
Cooking time: Cooking time depends somewhat on the size of the wings. If the wings are on the smaller side, reduce cooking time. Internal temp should be 165°F.
Double the recipe: Recipe can easily be doubled but you'll have to do them in batches unless you have a very large air fryer.
Seasoning: Use whatever spice mixture that you prefer. I like this basic seasoning so the sauces that I add really shine but feel free to use other seasoning if you wish.
