INGREDIENTS
 

  • 1 lb/450 g chicken wings (wingettes/flats and drummets)
  • 1 tsp grated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Seasoning mix: Add dried oregano, dried basil, red chilli flakes, black pepper powder and salt in a bowl. Crush with your fingers until the herbs and spices turn into powder.
  • Marinade: Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. Add the seasoning mix, grated garlic and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Place it in the refrigerator if you plan to marinate it for longer than 1 hour.
  • Air Fry: Lay the chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Air fry at 400 F/200 C for 15-18 minutes, depending on the size. Larger wings may require 18 minutes. Flip every 5 minutes so that the chicken wings turn crispy on both sides. When the skin is crispy golden and the meat slides off the bones, chicken wings are ready!
  • Dipping sauce: Serve the wings immediately with honey mustard mayo or ranch dressing. To make honey mustard mayo, mix 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tsp mustard and 2 tsp honey. Add salt and pepper to taste.

NOTES

Substitutes

  • Dried oregano or basil: Any dried herbs, fresh herbs or mixed herbs work. Use a combination of herbs that you enjoy
  • Red chilli flakes: Red chilli powder, cayenne pepper powder or paprika for low heat tolerance
  • Fresh garlic: Garlic powder can be used

Tips

  • Dry the wings: Excess moisture prevents browning. Dry the wings with paper towels to avoid this
  • Skip the oil: Crispy skin forms when fat melts and moisture escapes from the skin. Adding oil traps heat and moisture on the skin, which can prevent it from turning crisp
  • Do not overcrowd: Overcrowding will cause the wings to fry unevenly and make them soggy
  • High temperature: Cooking at a high temperature helps quickly render fat and evaporates moisture resulting in crispy skin
