Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings
  • 1 lb chicken wings, separated into drummettes and flats
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp neutral oil I used avocado oil

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a bowl, season the chicken wings with salt, white pepper, baking powder, and neutral oil. Mix until the wings are evenly coated.
  3. In a single layer, place the chicken wings in the air fryer ensuring they do not touch each other, and air fry for 10 minutes at 400F.
  4. Flip the chicken wings and air fry again for 5-11 minutes at 400F (depending on the size of the wings) or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve with your favorite wing sauce or eat dry and enjoy.

Notes

Cooking time for the second stage may vary between 5 and 11 minutes based on the size of your chicken wings.
