Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
What I love about this recipe is that you make one marinade and then can make as many flavours of wings as you like just by changing the sauces. The possibilities are LITERALLY endless.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Large bowl
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings w/ the skin on (2 lbs)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cornflour / corn-starch
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (I like using vegetable or rapeseed oil)
Instructions
- Start by patting the wings dry with some paper towels.
- Then, place the dry chicken wings into a large bowl and add in all of the marinade ingredients.
- Give the wings a good mix (I like to use some gloves here) until they are well coated.
- Now, place the wings in a single even layer in your airfryer and air fry at 200c (400F) for 30 minutes, turning halfway (15 mins) through.
- You’ll know the wings are cooked when they are, crispy and golden all over, and the meat inside is soft and completely white.
- Finally take your wings out of the air fryer and toss in a sauce of your choice, just be mindful that your wings already have some salt so you’ll need less salt in your sauce. (I have a few recipes below!)
- Serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Pat the chicken wings dry - will help make the chicken crispier and allow the marinade to stick to the wings easier.
- Lay them out flat - laying them out flat will make them cook faster and more evenly. This will also create an even browning all over the wings.
- Use baking powder (baking soda) - this makes all the difference. Using baking powder, will make the wings extra and crispy and help keep the insides moist.
- Use less salt - in whatever sauce you are using to toss your crispy wings in, as we are already adding some salt and flavour in.
