Step 1

If the chicken wings are whole, first cut them into flats, drums and wing tips. Discard the wing tips or save them to make chicken broth.To cut them into sections, slice between the joints with a sharp knife on a cutting board.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer at 375 degrees for 3 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine paprika, garlic salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Either sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken or place the chicken in a sealable plastic bag and sprinkle the seasoning mixture on them and toss them around to coat.

Step 5

If your air fryer's basket rack is nonstick, you don't have to spray it with oil because you are preheating the rack. If using a metal oven-style air fryer, you can spray it with oil first.

Step 6

Arrange flats and drums in the air fryer basket in a single layer where they do not touch. Be sure not to crowd them. You will cook them in batches. Air fry at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, turn them over and cook an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown, crispy and the temperature registers 170 degrees on an instant read thermometer placed near the bone.

Step 7

Brush them with bbq sauce on both sides and cook an additional 1 minute, without turning. Serve with Ranch dressing more bbq sauce.
