Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken wings aggressively dry with paper towels to remove all surface moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil to act as a binder.
  3. Sprinkle in the baking powder, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated in a thin, matte paste.
  4. Arrange wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through with tongs, until the skin is mahogany-colored and firm.
