Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This helps the wings start crisping up as soon as they hit the basket.

Pat your wings dry with paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness! Then place them on a tray and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands or tongs to ensure an even coating.

Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to work in batches.

Cook at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crisp. Internal temperature should reach 165°F for safe eating.

Remove the wings from the basket and transfer to a plate. Serve immediately or toss with your favorite sauce like:

Buffalo sauce

BBQ sauce

Teriyaki glaze

Honey garlic

Lemon pepper butter

Or keep them naked with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing!
