Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Chicken Wings (flats and drums separated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- For Dessert: 2 Large Peaches (halved) or 4 Flour Tortillas (for quick cinnamon chips)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or Cinnamon Sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation – Start by patting the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Removing moisture is the most important step for achieving maximum crispiness. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until lightly coated. In a small ramekin, whisk together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice blend over the chicken and toss again to ensure every wing is evenly seasoned. If you are preparing the dessert, pit the peaches or slice the tortillas into triangles and set them aside.
- Step 2: Cooking – Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the basket every 8 minutes to ensure even browning. Once the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F and look golden-brown, remove them. Immediately place your dessert items (peaches or cinnamon tortillas) into the hot basket. Air fry the dessert at 350°F for 5 minutes until the peaches are soft or the chips are golden and crunchy.
- Step 3: Plating – Transfer the crispy wings to a large platter and serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like buffalo, ranch, or blue cheese. For the dessert portion, drizzle the warm peaches with honey or toss the tortilla chips in extra cinnamon sugar while they are still hot. Serve the dessert immediately while the chicken remains the star of the main course. This dual-purpose cooking method ensures a complete, high-quality meal with minimal effort.
