Keto Air fryer chicken wings

By deiv3 on September 12, 2024

Ingredients:

2 lbs (900g) chicken wings
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them become crispy during cooking.
Season the Wings:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wings and toss until the wings are evenly coated with the spices.
Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Wings:
- Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the wings at 360°F (182°C) for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. The wings should be golden brown and have an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Serve:
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the wings with a keto-friendly cooking spray before air frying.
Experiment with different seasoning blends to match your flavor preferences, such as barbecue rub, lemon pepper, or garlic parmesan.

Storage:

Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to maintain their crispy texture.
