Crispy chicken wings are the ultimate finger food, but when made in the air fryer, they become a weeknight favourite — no guilt, no mess, and no greasy deep-frying required. 


The secret to extra crunch lies in a simple, surprising ingredient: baking powder. It dries out the skin and helps it blister beautifully in the hot circulating air of the fryer. Paired with garlic, smoked paprika, and a touch of cayenne, these wings are loaded with bold flavour and irresistible texture.


Air fryer wings are endlessly customisable too — go classic with buffalo sauce, smoky with chipotle butter, or sweet and sticky with honey soy glaze. They’re perfect for game day, parties, or even as a high-protein dinner when served with a crunchy slaw or veggie sticks. 


Whether you’re a wing purist or a sauce-drenched fanatic, this recipe delivers crispy satisfaction every single time.

Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings with Garlic and Paprika

Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminium-free)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper

  • Cooking spray or light olive oil spray

blank

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce or buffalo sauce

Directions

  1. Pat chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, and optional cayenne until evenly coated.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.

  4. Spray the air fryer basket with oil, then arrange wings in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches).

  5. Air fry for 25–30 minutes, turning the wings every 10 minutes until golden, crisp, and cooked through.

  6. If using sauce, toss the hot wings with melted butter and hot sauce just before serving.

  7. Serve immediately with your favourite dip.

Tips til tilberedning af sprøde Air Fryer kyllingevinger

  1. Tør vingerne grundigt - fugt dræber sprødhed.

  2. Spring ikke bagepulveret over; det er vigtigt for teksturen.

  3. Undgå at overfylde kurven; kog i portioner, hvis det er nødvendigt.

  4. Vend vingerne hvert 10. minut for jævn madlavning.

  5. Forvarm din airfryer for ensartet temperatur.

  6. Lad vingerne hvile 5 minutter før saucen for at bevare sprøde.

  7. For ekstra knas, luftsteg 3-5 minutter længere efter saucen.

  8. Brug aluminiumsfrit bagepulver for at undgå bitterhed.

  9. Opbevar rester utildækket for at holde huden sprød.

  10. Genopvarm i airfryer i 5 minutter ved 180°C (360°F) for at genoprette teksturen.

Q: Kan jeg springe saucen over?

Q: Hvad er en god dipsauce til disse?
A: Ranch, blåskimmelost, honningsennep eller hvidløgsyoghurtdip fungerer alle smukt.

Q: Kan jeg gøre dem mindre krydrede?
A: Ja - udelad cayenne og brug mild paprika til en familievenlig version.

A: En let spray af olivenolie eller avocadoolie hjælper med at brune uden at fedte.

Q: Kan jeg opbevare rester?
A: Ja — stil dem på køl uden låg og opvarm dem igen i airfryeren for at gøre dem sprøde igen.
