Instructions
Heat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, coat the wings for in oil. Combine the seasoning salt and all spices, then sprinkle over wings and toss/rub to evenly coat.
Place wings in the hot air fryer basket in an even layer (2 pounds fit into an air fryer of 5.5 quart or larger; if yours is smaller, cook 1 pound at a time).
Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Flip wings, then air fry at 400 for another 5-10 minutes, until wings are cooked through. For extra crispy wings, remove half of the wings from the air fryer. Air fry the remaining half for another 4-5 minutes. Remove, then air fry the other half for another 5 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Ingredient notes
Chicken wings: I highly recommend splitting your wings into wingettes and drumettes, even if it’s more work. If you don’t want to cut them yourself, buy them split or ask your butcher to split them for you. They cook faster and are easier to evenly distribute in the air fryer basket when split.
Oil: I used canola oil, but any oil suitable for cooking can be used.
Seasoning salt: If you don’t keep this on hand, feel free to use plain salt.
Recipe tips
Seasoning:If you want to add some heat, add a few pinches of Cayenne pepper to the seasoning.You can also switch it up according to your taste. We very much enjoy Za’atar on our wings every once in a while!My extra tip for super crispy wings if you load your air fryer to maximum capacity:After 20 minutes, remove half of the wings from the air fryer. Air fry the remaining half for 4-5 more minutes. Remove and do the same with the other half.This way, your wings will be almost done at the same time (no cooking in two batches!) AND they will be as crispy as possible.Do not make ahead:I do not recommend you make these ahead of time. They really need to be eaten as soon as possible to retain maximum crispiness.
