Air Fryer Chicken Wings
- Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels. Removing moisture is key for crispy skin.
- In a small bowl, mix baking powder (aluminum free), salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle over the wings and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- Place wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 13 minutes, then flip and cook another 13 minutes.
- Increase temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the wings are crispy, golden, and the skin is lightly browned.
- Transfer the hot wings to a bowl and toss with warm Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.
