Ingredients:

• 10-12 chicken wings (fresh or thawed)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken Wings:
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any moisture (this helps them crisp up in the air fryer).
   • If your wings are whole, you can cut them into drumettes and flats, or leave them whole as preferred.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture:
   • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
   • In another bowl, beat the egg.
3. Coat the Chicken Wings:
   • Dip each chicken wing into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
   • Then, roll the wing in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breading sticks. Repeat for all the wings.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Chicken Wings:
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
   • Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
   • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy. If you prefer extra crispiness, you can cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes, checking every few minutes.
6. Serve:
   • Once the wings are crispy and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), remove them from the air fryer.
   • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces (ranch, blue cheese, or buffalo sauce) and enjoy!

Tips:

• For extra crispy wings, lightly spray the breaded wings with a bit of cooking spray before air frying.
• You can season the breadcrumbs with other spices like cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, or even Parmesan cheese for a different flavor.
• If you’re cooking in batches, you can keep the cooked wings warm by placing them in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while you finish the rest.
