Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:6 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs Chicken Wings, separated into drumettes and flats
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture. Make sure every wing is well-seasoned.
Air Fry the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the Wings: Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked.
Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat.
Sauce the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy these spicy, garlicky, and irresistible air fryer chicken wings!
