Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray for air fryer basket
  • 1 pound chicken wings split into flats and drummettes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for serving
  • Ranch dressing for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Once heated, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help them crisp up better.
  • Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Increase the temperature to 400°F and continue cooking the Air Fryer Chicken Wings for 6 to 8 more minutes, or until crisp, golden, and cooked through.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.

Notes

These wings are delicious served with celery sticks, carrot sticks, fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad. You can also turn them into a full meal by pairing them with roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, or garlic bread. For a bolder finish, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on top before serving.
