Instructions
-
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat for a few minutes.

Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
