Here’s a crispy, flavorful chicken wings recipe—perfect for air fryer, oven, or stovetop. 🍗

- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
- Optional: chili powder or cayenne for heat
🥄 Instructions
1. Prep the Wings
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels
- Toss with olive oil and seasonings
- Let them marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight in fridge for more flavor)
2. Cooking Options
Air Fryer

- Arrange wings in a single layer
- Cook 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through
Oven
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F)
- Place wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment
- Bake 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway
Stovetop / Pan-Fried
- Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a skillet

3. Optional Finishes
- Toss in BBQ sauce, honey-garlic sauce, or spicy buffalo sauce
- Serve with fresh herbs or sesame seeds for garnish
👍 Tips
- Drying wings before cooking = crispier skin
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer
- Use a meat thermometer: internal temp should reach 75°C (165°F)
