My husband and I just got a brand new air fryer and were doing chicken wings tonight! I am so excited for these ❤
12 whole wings - once you've cut these up you'll have 24 wings
favorite sauce - I love to make my own homemade sauce with a little cayenne pepper, butter, and hot sauce
garlic powder - adds a little additional flavor to the wings
olive oil - I always coat the wings in a little oil before adding any additional seasonings.
baking powder - helps create an extra crispy skin on the finished hot wings
salt - to taste
