👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Dry the wings thoroughly
   Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This step is essential for crispy skin.

2. Season
   In a large bowl, toss wings with oil, salt, spices, and baking powder until evenly coated.

3. Preheat the air fryer
   Preheat to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.

4. Arrange wings
   Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd—cook in batches if needed.

5. Air fry

   • Cook for 12 minutes, then flip wings.

   • Increase temperature to 400°F (205°C) and cook another 10–14 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

6. Check doneness
   Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.

7. Rest briefly
   Let wings rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
