1-Getting started with air fryer chicken wings: First, preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. This step sets the stage for perfectly cooked wings that come out golden and crisp every time.

2-Next, pat the 1 pound of chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt to taste, and black pepper to taste until they’re evenly coated.

3-Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other for even cooking. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue for another 6 to 8 minutes until they’re crispy, golden brown, and cooked through. Finally, remove the wings, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately, with ranch dressing on the side if you like. This quick process, taking just about 23 minutes total, makes it easy to enjoy a healthy snack without much fuss.
