Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings (split, tips removed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ cup BBQ sauce
Directions
- Prep Wings: Pat wings dry, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Air Fry: Spray basket with olive oil spray. Place wings in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 20–24 minutes, flipping halfway. I use this air fryer for even, crispy results.
- Sauce & Finish: Toss cooked wings in warmed BBQ sauce, then air fry for 2 more minutes to set the glaze.
- Serve: Plate hot with extra sauce or your favorite dip.
