Ingredients
- 2 pounds of Perdue chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for some heat
- Optional: 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning for an extra layer of flavor
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking.
2. Prepare the wings: If your Perdue chicken wings are whole, cut them into drumettes and wingettes. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick better and ensure crispiness.
3. Season the wings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the wings with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and any optional seasonings. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
4. Arrange in the air fryer: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow air to circulate properly.
5. Cooking process: Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 20-25 minutes. Shake the basket or flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
6. Check for doneness: The wings are done when they are golden brown and crispy. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensures they are fully cooked.
7. Serve immediately: Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For best results, do not skip preheating the air fryer and flipping the wings halfway through. This guarantees even cooking and maximum crispiness.
