Doneness
Skin is deep mahogany and audibly crisp when tapped; the joints separate cleanly when pulled.
Oil & seasoning
Skip oil — wings render plenty of fat. Optional baking-powder dust (½ tsp per lb) for extra crisp.
Season with: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika.
Watch out for
- Toss the wings in dry seasoning only — sauce them after cooking. Sugary sauces (BBQ, buffalo, teriyaki) burn quickly in an air fryer above 350 °F.
- Pat the wings completely dry before seasoning. Surface moisture is the single biggest cause of soggy wings.
