Instructions
- If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 375°F.
- Pat the 1 lb. chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, add the wings and all the spices from the ingredient list (1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground garlic powder). Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper only if you want heat.
- Toss the wings and spices until every wing is evenly coated in the dry rub.
- Let the wings sit in the dry rub for 10 minutes at room temperature to marinate briefly.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with the avocado oil spray.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket with at least 1/4" of space between pieces; do two batches if they will not fit without touching.
- Air fry at 375°F for 25 minutes total. Flip each wing once at the 10-minute mark and again at the 20-minute mark (use tongs to turn them).
- Remove the wings when they are crisp and cooked through. Serve hot with desired sauces.
Notes
Notes
The chicken wings themselves do not need any added oil because fat will be released from the chicken as it cooks. However, it is a good idea to brush the basket with oil, to prevent any sticking. We don’t recommend using traditional cooking spray for this, as most air fryers recommend avoiding cooking sprays with additives to it. However you can use a cooking spray that has no added ingredients, other than the oil. We use
Avocado Spray
for this task.
You can omit the dry rub spices here if you plan to coat the wings in a sauce, and instead just do ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
If you have to make your wings in batches because of the size of your air fryer, when the wings are finished cooking you can place them all back in the air fryer to cook for one minute to heat through before serving.
