Description

These spicy air fryer chicken wings are seasoned to perfection. They're ready for your weeknight dinner plate or when you’re watching the big game.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings and drummettes
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

1 Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
2 Combine paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl.
3 Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle spice mixture over chicken and toss until evenly covered. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket so it's not touching.
4 Cook in the preheated air fryer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier wings, increase the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
5 Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
