🍗 Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
-
2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with almond flour for low-carb)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons water or milk
-
Cooking spray or a little oil for spraying
Instructions:
1. Prep Wings
-
Pat wings dry with paper towels (dry wings = crispier skin!).
2. Prepare Breading Station
-
In one bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
In another bowl, whisk eggs with water or milk.
3. Bread the Wings
-
Dip each wing in the egg wash, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture.
-
Shake off excess flour.
4. Preheat Air Fryer
-
Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
5. Cook the Wings
-
Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (avoid overcrowding — cook in batches if needed).
-
Spray wings lightly with cooking spray or brush with a little oil.
-
Cook at 380°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping and spraying halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Serving Suggestions:
-
Toss with your favorite wing sauce like buffalo, BBQ, honey garlic, or teriyaki.
-
Serve with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Tips:
-
For extra crispy wings, double-dip: egg wash → flour → egg wash → flour.
-
If you want a spicier kick, add cayenne or chili powder to the flour mix.
-
Clean the air fryer basket right after cooking to avoid stuck-on crumbs.
