Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. If using whole wings, separate them into drumettes and flats.
2. Place the wings in a large bowl. Add olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
4. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for airflow.
5. Air fry the wings at 400°F for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked to an internal temp of 165°F.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Drying the wings thoroughly ensures maximum crispiness.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
For spicier wings, add cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to the seasoning mix.
