How to Make Air Fryer Hot Wings

1. Add flour, baking powder, salt to taste, cayenne pepper and garlic powder to a large bowl and whisk.
2. Next, use a paper towel to pat down each chicken until dry.
3. Then, dip each wing into the flour mix and place them in the air fryer, ensuring they are not touching. Spray each side of the wings with cooking oil.
4. Air fry at 180C/360F for 20-25 minutes and turn halfway through.
5. While the wings are cooking, start on the sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan on low heat. Then add hot sauce, season to taste if necessary, and cook until the sauce bubbles.
6. Once the wings are ready, remove them from the air fryer. Dip and dredge each wing in the hot sauce, and serve with Oven Baked Skin On Fries or Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges.
