Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1.5 pounds chicken wings and drummettes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.

Step 2

Combine paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and toss until evenly covered.

Step 3

Arrange chicken in the basket of the preheated air fryer in a single layer, not touching. Cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier wings, increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.

Step 4

Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 5

Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
