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 and pepper (to taste)
Chopped parsley (for serving)
Ranch dressing (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. When heated, spray the basket with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry and transfer them to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder, then season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the wings in the air fryer in a single layer without touching. Cook for 10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 6–8 minutes until crisp and golden.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with ranch dressing on the side if desired.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
