  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) Cayenne Pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Hot Sauce (such as Tabasco or Frank's RedHot)
  • Pinch of Garlic Powder
  • Pinch of Black Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the wings are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl (for dipping sauce).
  8. Remove the wings from the air fryer and serve immediately with the optional dipping sauce. Enjoy one of the best air fryer meals!
