Equipment
Air Fryer (6 Quart or bigger)
Ingredients
1tbspBaking powder NOT baking soda (It will taste horrible, trust me)
1/2tspSalt
1/2tspGround Pepper
15 to 20Chicken Wings - thawed Don't forget to pat dry!
Instructions
Using a paper towel, pat dry each chicken wing and place into a large bowl
Place baking powder, salt, and pepper into the bowl with the wings and mix with a large wooden spoon or spatula
Place wings into Air Fryer basket in such a way that all wings are touching the bottom of the basket. The goal is to have just one layer of wings, if a few or on top, not a big deal.
Set temperature to 280 degrees, for 15 minutes. Open Fryer Basket and shake every 5 minutes
Next, set the temperature to 400 degrees for another 15 minutes. Again, making sure to shake every 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the wings, it may finish in only 10 minutes. Look for a dark brown crisp. If they start to turn black on the outside, that's a sign they are over done.
Open basket, detach basket from tray, dump wings in a large bowl and pour your favorite sauce on top and mix well! Enjoy.
Notes
Important: Make sure to use Baking Powder and NOT baking soda. Huge difference.
