Air Fryer Old Bay Chicken Wings Recipe

Democracy Dies in Darknessclock30 minscourseAppetizerStart CookingComment on this storyAdd to your saved recipesBy Aaron Hutcherson

These air fryer chicken wings are easy, quick and irresistible. Borrowing a technique for crispy oven-baked Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings, the pieces are tossed with baking powder for enhanced browning and crisping. Old Bay, the seasoning blend founded in Baltimore and designed for seafood, lends its distinct flavor profile that includes celery salt, pepper, paprika and warming spices. The chicken wings are great as written below, or you could use this recipe as a blueprint to season them with your own spice blend and/or toss them with your favorite wing sauce.

Note: This recipe was tested in a Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6-quart air fryer and a Cosori 5.8-quart air fryer. Depending on the appliance you use, you may need to adjust the cooking time and/or temperature to achieve the desired results.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

measuring cup

Servings: 2 (makes about 10 pieces)

Directions

Time Icon Total: 30 mins

  • Step 1

    Set the air fryer to 400 degrees and preheat for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Place the wings in a large bowl and pat dry. In a small bowl, whisk together the Old Bay Seasoning and baking powder to combine. Sprinkle the wings with the mixture and toss until evenly coated.

  • Step 3

    Once the fryer is ready, add the wings to the basket in a single layer evenly spaced out. Cook in batches if necessary; the wings can touch, but don't overcrowd them. Close the basket and air fry for 25 minutes, turning the wings halfway through. Transfer to a shallow bowl or platter, and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
