Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
• Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.
2. Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the wings, then add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
4. Add BBQ Sauce: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush your favorite BBQ sauce over the wings. Allow it to caramelize slightly for an extra layer of flavor.
5. Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
