Description

Crispy double-fried chicken wings with hot sauce heat and garlic depth. Air-fried for restaurant-style crunch in 30 minutes with zero oil spray. Perfect game-day or family-dinner hacker with saucy stick-on action.


Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
1/4 cup hot sauce (e.g., Sriracha)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp olive oil (substitute avocado oil if needed)


Instructions

Pat wings dry with paper towels and trim excess fat
Mix garlic powder, baking powder, and 1 tbsp oil in bowl
Coat wings in marinade, pressing for even coverage
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes
Arrange wings in single layer and cook 15 minutes without oil spray
Transfer wings to silicone spatula and cool slightly
Toss wings in hot sauce until glazed
Return to air fryer and cook 5 minutes for crispier sauce

Notes

Use silicone mitts—wings reach 300°F
Microwave wings 1 minute before tossing sauce
Freeze seasoned wings overnight for better sauce adhesion
Frank’s RedHot ensures heat consistency
Common mistake: overcooking causes dry meat
