Ingredients

1

Scaled to 1 serving (0.25x)

  • 0.5 lb chicken wings, split into drums and flats
  • 0.5 tsp coarse salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder (Not baking soda. Draws moisture and crisps the skin.)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat wings very dry. Toss with salt, baking powder, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    If possible, rest uncovered in the fridge 1-4 hours. Drier skin gets crispier.

  3. 3

    Air fryer to 400F. Arrange wings in a single layer, not touching.

  4. 4

    Cook 12 minutes. Flip. Cook 10-12 more minutes until skin is mahogany and crispy.

  5. 5

    Rest 3 minutes. Serve plain or with ranch.
