Begin by patting the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is crucial to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer. Removing moisture will help prevent steaming.
Next, spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil. This will help the wings develop a crispy coating as they cook. You can use any oil spray you prefer.
In a large bowl, combine the kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, dried oregano, thyme, ground sage, and baking powder. Mix well to create your seasoning blend.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are well coated. Make sure every wing is covered for maximum flavor.
Transfer the seasoned wings to the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. If necessary, cook them in batches for the best results.
Set the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the wings for about 16 to 22 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket to ensure even cooking and crisping.
Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. For an extra touch, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway to achieve an even crisp.
Finally, let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making them even more delicious.
Serve your Air Fryer Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy!
