How to prepare the chicken wings

Ingredients

Firstly, you'll need to gather your ingredients. For the wings, you'll need:

• 2 lbs of chicken wings (drums and flats)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Olive oil
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Salt
• Pepper

For the sauce, you can use your favourite, but some suggestions include:

• Cilantro Lime Dip
• Chunky Blue Cheese
• Homemade Buffalo Sauce
• Ranch Dressing

Preparation

Pat the wings dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help them get crispy.

Next, separate the wings into drums and flats, and ensure they are defrosted.

Place the wings into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.

Add your chosen seasonings to the wings and toss to ensure they are fully covered.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for a few minutes.

Place the wings into the air fryer in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 10 minutes at 400°F.

After 10 minutes, open the air fryer and carefully flip the wings over.

Cook for a further 8 minutes at 400°F.

Remove the wings from the air fryer and serve with your chosen sauce.

How to store leftovers

Storing leftovers of air-fried chips and wings is easy. Here are some tips to ensure your leftovers stay fresh and tasty:

Storing Air-Fried Chips:

• Allow the chips to cool completely before storing.
• Use an airtight container: Store the chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. They can last for about 3-5 days.
• Room Temperature: It is best to keep the container at room temperature.
• Reheating: If the chips lose their crispiness, you can reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crunch.

Storing Air-Fried Wings:

• Refrigerate: Place any leftover wings in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: To reheat the wings, put them back in the air fryer and cook at 380-400 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-4 minutes, or until heated through.
• Sauce: It is best to add sauce to the wings just before serving. If you store sauced wings, the coating may become soggy.
