Instructions
- 1
Pat the wings thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier the skin, the crisper the result. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper until every piece is evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding.
