Air Fryer Chicken Wings: Crispy, Juicy, and Perfectly Seasoned

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the wings become extra crispy in the air fryer.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil and the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, and thyme). Make sure the wings are evenly coated.
2. Air Fry the Wings:

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure the wings cook evenly.
Air fry for 25–30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. The wings should be golden brown and crispy. If you like them extra crispy, add a few extra minutes of cooking time.
3. Coat with Sauce (Optional):

If you want to coat your wings in sauce, place the cooked wings in a bowl and toss them with your favorite wing sauce, such as buffalo sauce. You can also drizzle melted butter with the sauce for a richer flavor.
4. Serve:

Serve the wings hot with dipping sauces such as ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy!
