Ingredients
Chicken Wings- These are the juicy skin-covered wings of the chicken. It has more fat and delicious part.
Spice Powders - I am using Kashmiri red chili powder, for the bright red color you can replace it with paprika powder. Along with it, I am using curry powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder.
Red chili flakes - This is totally optional. I prefer the extra spice and hence added.
Ginger garlic paste - gives a yummy flavor to the chicken.
Oil - Helps to blend the marinade and keeps it intact with the chicken. I prefer using ground nut oil. Avacado oil or any other cooking oil can also be used.
FAQ's
What other appetizers and sides can I serve with wings?
My personal favorite is with fresh celery sticks, stuffed mushrooms, and sweet potato fries.
How long to cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer?
Frozen chicken wings take a bit longer to cook than fresh wings. you can cook extra 5 mins for the frozen ones. I usually cook for up to 20-22 mins. Make sure to check the wings and break them apart after the first few minutes as they might clump up together. and then continue to cook with the marinade added and flip them as needed.
How to make Air Fryer Chicken Wings
1.In a mixing bowl add Red Chilli powder or Paprika Powder, Roasted Cumin Powder, Curry Powder, Salt, and Turmeric powder. also, add the ginger garlic paste and red chili flakes.
2. Next, add the oil. I am using ground nut oil. You can use any cooking oil of your preference.
3. Combine everything. The marinade is now ready.
4. Now add the cleaned chicken wings.
5. Combine and let the marinade coat the chicken wings. Cover and let it rest for 30 mins to 1 hour.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 392 F/200 °C for 5 mins. Spray Cooking oil or brush in oil to the air fryer basket. Arrange the chicken wings in the basket. Let the wings don't touch each other and do not overcrowd.
7. Air Fry the Chicken at 356 F / 180 °C for 16 mins. Flip the chicken wings once halfway and brush in some oil. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your air fryer basket as well. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C.
Tips & Variations
- You can try the same recipe in your oven also. Bake at 200 C for 30 mins or until crisp. Flip in intervals and bake.
- If cooking on the stovetop you may have to deep fry in hot oil. Tastes good but I do not recommend the amount of oil used for frying.
- You can skip chili flakes if you do not prefer.
- Goes well as a starter or an appetizer.
Serving Suggestions
Goes well with any dipping sauce like Ranch dressing or even Mayonaise.
Storing Suggestions
Store the leftover chicken in zip lock bags or in air-tight containers. They stay good for 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the stovetop or microwave or in the air fryer at 180 deg C for 2 mins and then serve.
