Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes separated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (coarse salt, black pepper, garlic, and onion)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken wings extremely dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until lightly coated. Sprinkle the steak seasoning, smoked paprika, and garlic powder over the chicken. Use your hands or tongs to ensure every wing is evenly coated with the spices. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket, as air needs to circulate to create that golden perfect crunch. Set the timer for 25 minutes. At the 12-minute mark, open the basket and shake the wings or use tongs to flip them over. This ensures even browning on all sides. Continue cooking until the skin is bubbly, golden, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute and the skin to firm up even more. Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad for a complete healthy dinner.
