Ingredients
- Chicken wings
- 2 pounds, split into wings and drumettes
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Paprika
- 1 tablespoon
- Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade. For an extra kick, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure optimal crispiness.
- Cook the wings for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each wing over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the spicy chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as a tangy hot sauce or creamy blue cheese dressing.
