These crispy chicken wings cook in the air fryer in 35 minutes. The perfect party food! They taste great on their own or smothered in your favourite sauce.
Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette.
2.2 lbs (1 kg) chicken wings
Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note - it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating.
1 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder*, ½ tsp table salt, ½ tsp pepper
Add to air fryer, cook for 30-35 minutes at 210C/410F, shaking the basket every 10 minutes.
Serve on their own or with your favourite sauce.

Notes
*Baking PowderI state in the recipe to use aluminium-free baking powder. Baking powder that contains aluminium (sodium aluminium sulfate or E521) can cause a metallic taste to certain people who are sensitive to it.
Also be sure to use baking powder AND NOT baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
Can I make wings ahead?I prefer these wings fresh out of the air fryer, but you can make the wings ahead.Cook, then cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a day. Reheat them in the air fryer for about 5-6 minutes at 200C/400F until they're crisp again.Nutritional information is approximate, per chicken wing
