Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure that they get crispy in the air fryer.

Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- 4
Cook the Chicken Wings
Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook them at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Saucing (Optional)
- 5
Prepare the Hot Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
- 6
Coat the Wings
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
