  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste for spiciness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt is preferable for texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine your chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss everything together until the wings are thoroughly coated in the seasoning.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix together all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Add the flour and cornstarch blend to the seasoned wings and toss gently until the wings are fully covered.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated wings in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not touching. Spray the wings lightly with oil.
  4. Cook the wings in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Carefully flip the wings and continue cooking for another 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
