Ingredients
2
lbs
Chicken Wings
(About 16 drumettes and wingettes)
½
cup
Potato Starch
Kosher Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat the air fryer to 375 degrees.
Liberally season the wings on both sides with kosher salt & freshly ground pepper.
Place the potato starch in a bowl, then coat the chicken wings on all sides, shaking off any excess starch.
Place the wings in the fryer basket, leaving room so they don't touch each other. This will help make them evenly crisp.
Air fry the wings for 20 minutes at at 375 degrees.
Increase air fryer temperature to 425 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes; turning the wings at least once to crisp evenly on both sides.
Season the wings with more salt & freshly ground pepper right when they come out of the air fryer.
Notes
This recipe uses a Breville Smart Oven Air for air frying. Other air fryers might require slightly different technique or cook times.
For easier clean-up, I like to place a foil-lined baking sheet below the Breville air fry basket to catch any drips.
If you don't have an air fryer, the wings can be cooked in a convection oven, but cooking times might be slightly longer.
