If you’re a fan of crispy fried chicken wings but don’t want to deal with the mess and calories of deep frying, then an air fryer is the perfect solution. Air fryers use hot air to circulate around the food, creating a crispy exterior without the use of excess oil. Here’s how to make crispy fried chicken wings in an air fryer.

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken wings
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter, melted
BBQ sauce or hot sauce for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and add them to the bowl with the flour mixture. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated in the flour mixture.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Cook the wings for 10 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Brush the melted butter over the wings and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry before coating them in the flour mixture. This will help the coating adhere better and make the wings crispier.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Make sure to cook the wings in a single layer so that they cook evenly and get crispy all over.
If you want your wings to be extra crispy, you can spray them with cooking spray before cooking.
Experiment with different seasonings and sauces to create your own unique flavor combinations.

In conclusion, air fryers are a great way to make crispy fried chicken wings without the mess and calories of deep frying. With this recipe, you can enjoy delicious wings in just a few simple steps. Happy cooking!
