Scale
Chicken Wings
- 5 lbs chicken wingettes
- 2 tablespoons lawry’s all purpose seasoning
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
Flour Coating
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lawry’s all purpose seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer by setting it to run on 400F degrees for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add seasonings to chicken wings and rub them in until every wing is evenly coated.
- Add additional seasonings to flour and cornstarch mixture in a separate bowl.
- Place a few wings into the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Shake off the excess flour from the wings and place in one layer into the air fryer basket, with some space in between each wing. Try not to overcrowd the basket.
- Insert the basket into the air fryer, and cook the wings at 400F degrees for 22 minutes. Halfway through cooking (at the 11 minute mark), remove the basket and spray some cooking oil spray on any area of the wings where you can still see flour. Return the basket to the air fryer and allow the wings to finish cooking for the remaining 11 minutes.
- Your air fryer should beep when time is up. Remove the wings & serve.
Notes
The addition of cornstarch to the flour mixture is what helps these chicken wings get that crunchy exterior.
You do not need much oil here. Just a little bit of cooking spray goes a long way.
Leave a little space in between each wing and try not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will ensure even cooking.
