Combine all the dry seasonings and starch in a bowl. Coat the wings evenly with the mixture.

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 20 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. If necessary, cook in smaller portions to let the wings crisp up.

01 -
Air fryer, oven, or deep fryer can all be used for cooking.

To get the crispiest wings, make sure they're dried well before seasoning.
03 -
Always choose aluminum-free baking powder—don't confuse it with soda.
