Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 lbs of chicken wings, 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of dried oregano, 1 tsp of dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings. Pour in the olive oil and toss the wings to coat them evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create your seasoning blend.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the coated chicken wings. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure the wings are evenly coated with the herbs and spices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
- Once preheated, arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
- After 25 minutes, check the wings for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy. If desired, you can cook them for an additional 2-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer herb garlic chicken wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
Tips
- Pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if necessary for even cooking
- Shake the basket midway through cooking to ensure uniform browning
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety
- Let wings rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to help retain moisture
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herb combinations or add a light sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving
- Clean your air fryer immediately after use to prevent seasoning buildup
