Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, optional
  • 1/4 cup chili crisp crunch
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • Oil spray, as needed

Method
 

  1. Separate chicken wings into drumettes and flats if whole. Pat wings dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. For an oil-free version, place seasoned wings in an even layer in the air fryer basket. For an Extra Crispy Crust, follow the optional steps for the corn starch crust.
  3. For the optional corn starch crust: Toss the dried, seasoned wings with corn starch until evenly coated.
  4. Lightly spray the wings with oil spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. Flip the wings and air fry for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer cooked wings to a bowl and toss immediately with chili crisp crunch until coated.

Notes

- Ensure wings are thoroughly dry before seasoning and coating for maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp to your preferred spice level.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
