Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces Frozen Chicken Wings No thawing required
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Granulated Garlic
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place frozen wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes to begin thawing and cooking.
  • Remove the wings, pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  • In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Return the wings to the air fryer and cook for another 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Wings should reach at least 165°F internally.
  • Serve the wings hot, either as-is or tossed in your favorite sauce.

Notes

For a tropical twist, pair the wings with pineapple chicken rice or chicken and pineapple fried rice.
