Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For coating the wings: (optional)

• 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Lay the wings out in a single layer and pat them dry on both sides with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with the salt, garlic powder, and cayenne.
2. Place the wings in the air fryer and turn on to 380°F. Cook 25 minutes, removing the basket and tossing the wings with tongs every 5 minutes. After 25 minutes of cooking, the wings should be tender and cooked through.
3. Increase the heat to 400°F and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes more. Toss the wings with the hot sauce and melted butter, if desired, before serving.
