Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings drums and flats (defrosted if frozen)
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken wings. If full wings, separate them into drums and flats. Make sure they are defrosted. Pat them dry completely dry (this will help them get crispy).
  2. Place the wings into a bowl and add oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to completely coat the wings.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer at 400 F degrees for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the wings in a single layer to the air fryer (they should NOT be touching), and cook for 10 minutes at 400 F degrees.
  5. After the timer goes off, open the air fryer. Brush the tops of the wings with BBQ sauce, then carefully flip over the chicken wings and brush the other side with BBQ sauce.
  6. Close the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes.
  7. Remove the bbq chicken wings. Add more sauce after cooking if desired. If you like the wings really saucy, then you'll probably want to brush more sauce onto the cooked wings!
