Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for desired heat level)
  • 2 pound chicken wings (I recommend using drummettes/split wings)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup all-purpose flour (enough to coat the wings evenly)
  • Cooking oil spray

Instructions

  • Begin by patting down the chicken wings with paper towels to get rid of the extra moisture. Set aside in a large bowl while we prepare the seasoning and flour.
  • Mix together the smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the flour and seasoning mix into a paper bag and shake to combine. Once its mixed well, add in the wings and shake to coat wings in seasoned flour mixture.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  • Arrange the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spritz the wings with oil spray.
  • Air fry the wings for 15 minutes at 400°F. Halfway through, open the air fryer, flip the wings, and spritz with a little more cooking oil spray. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the wings are golden, crispy, and cooked through.
  • To make sure your wings are safe to eat, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. The wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once wings reach 165°F internal temp and are crispy, remove from air fryer and enjoy!
