Ingredients
  • Chicken wings - 1 kg, skin-on & bone-in
  • Garlic powder - 1 & ¼ tsp
  • Onion powder - 1 & ¼ tsp
  • Italian seasoning - 1 & ½ tsp
  • Piri piri spice mix - 2 tsp
  • Salt - 1 tsp or to taste
  • Black pepper powder - ¼ tsp
  • Extra virgin olive oil - 2-3 tbsp
Instructions
  1. First make the dry spice mix by combining garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, Piri Piri spice mix, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  2. Give everything a good mix using a wire whisk to make an evenly combined dry spice rub for your chicken wings. Take time at this step for best results. Set it aside.
  3. Now prepare the chicken wings by cutting each whole wing into 3 pieces - drumette, wingette and wing tips.
  4. Discard the wing tips or save them for chicken stock and take remaining pieces in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the chicken wings. Using a spatula, stir the wings to evenly coat each one with olive oil on all sides.
  6. Now sprinkle half of the prepared dry spice mix over the chicken wings and give them a very good mix using the spatula.
  7. Once half of the spice mix is evenly mixed with the wings, sprinkle the remaining half and give a good mix again making sure each chicken wing piece is nicely coated with the spice rub on all sides.
  8. Now you are ready to air fry your chicken wings. Preheat your air fryer at 200 C and set the timer at 20 minutes.
  9. When the air fryer is preheated, arrange the chicken wings inside the fryer basket in a single layer making sure one is not on top of another.
  10. Air fry the chicken wings at 200 C for 20 minutes flipping them over halfway through the cooking time to ensure both the sides crisp up beautifully.
  11. Air fryer chicken wings are done! Serve them up with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup! Enjoy!
