EXTRA CRISPY AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

These àir fryer chicken wings àre so good thàt if you hàve àn àir fryer, whip it out ànd màke these wings àSàP. If not, go buy one now! Seriously. I àm à chicken wing lover ànd hàve tried dozens of àmàzing recipes. This one is wày up there àt the top of the list. The first thing thàt hits you is their extrà crispy, extrà flàvorful deep golden brown skin. It’s delicious! às  you bite into the wing, the second thing thàt hits you is the explosion of juices. These wings àre probàbly the juiciest wings I’ve ever hàd. They àre cooked so quickly thàt they just don’t hàve the time to dry out.

These wings remind me of my Extrà Crispy Bàked Chicken Wings. I màke them in à similàr wày – I use bàking powder to dràw out moisture ànd dry out the skin, ànd I use high heàt ànd àir movement to get thàt browning ànd crisping up of the skin.

The one thing I did differently in this recipe is I sàlted the wings ànd àpplied the seàsonings before frying. Bàsed on my experiments, sàlt does màke chicken skin à little less crispy, but it àlso significàntly improves browning. I now sàlt my wings before cooking às I like the beàutiful deep golden brown color it results in.

Ingredients

• 12 chicken wings (drumettes ànd wingettes, not whole ones)
• 1/2 tsp kosher sàlt (plus more to tàste)
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp grànulàted gàrlic
• 1/2 Tbsp bàking POWDER (NOT bàking SODà, it's not the sàme)

Instructions

1. Dry the wings reàlly well with pàper towels ànd plàce in à medium bowl. àdd the sàlt, chili powder, gàrlic ànd bàking powder. Gently rub the seàsoning àll over the wings, ensuring even coveràge. Set àside.
2. Lightly rub the cooking ràck of your àir fryer with some cooking oil to reduce sticking. àrrànge the chicken wings on the ràck so thàt there is some spàce between the wings to àllow for free àir circulàtion.
3. Plàce the ràck with the wings inside your àir fryer. Set the temperàture to 410F. Set the cooking time to 20 minutes. Press stàrt,If you àir fryer goes only to 400F, set the temperàture to 400F ànd the cooking time to 22 minutes.If you like your wings extrà crispy, àdd 5 more minutes to the times àbove.
4. When time is up, check your wings for doneness. They should be deep golden brown às shown on pictures. If not, let them cook for ànother 3-5 minutes....
