Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 ½ pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • optional 1-2 tablespoons BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Mix seasonings in a small cup to make dry rub.
    1 teaspoon paprika smoked, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
    1 – 1 ½ pounds chicken wings
  • Sprinkle chicken with half the dry rub. Turn and sprinkle the rest on the other side of the chicken. If desired, brush a little BBQ sauce on each wing.
    optional 1-2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • Place chicken wings in air fryer basket. Air fry 18 minutes at 400F. Turn wings about halfway through the cycle (or when air fryer signals you to do so).
  • Toss or brush with BBQ sauce if desired, or have sauce on the side. Ready to serve immediately.

Notes

For extra-crispy chicken, add an additional 3 to 4 minute cycle for about half the wings at a time. You want the wings to be more spread out to facilitate the crisping of the skin.
To keep warm after cooking, place in an open-top oven-safe container in a warm oven until ready to serve.
