Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoo smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups barbeque sauce of choice
  • Oil Spritzer

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees. You will want to remove your air fryer basket or air fryer oven trays and spritz with cooking oil. You can buy an air fryer spritzer that is safe on the non-stick trays.
  • Now you will take a paper towel and pat down your raw chicken wings to remove any excess liquid.
  • In a bowl add your salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic salt together.
  • Use this as a dry rub to coat all of the chicken wings. Place them on your air fryer basket or tray, leaving space between each wing. If you have to, batch cook your wings.
  • Cook your chicken wings for 20-25 minutes. Use tongs and flip them at about 10-15 minutes in, so they can cook evenly on all sides.
  • Your chicken wings will be close to done at this point. Remove them and take your barbeque sauce and brush it all over the wings coating all sides.
  • Place your barbeque wings back in the air fryer and cook an additional 5-8 mintues or until your wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Remove bbq chicken wings from air fryer, and brush them with additional bbq sauce if desired.
  • Then serve your air fryer bbq wings with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.

Notes

There are 4-5 wings per pound of chicken wings. You can double or triple this recipe and batch cook.
Just keep cooked wings in a 200 degree oven, on a baking sheet to keep them warm until ready to serve.
