Step 1

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix the dry rub until the ingredients are well combined. Our chicken rub recipe makes 9 Tbsp, you'll only need 1-2 Tablespoons for this recipe.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes. Blog the wings dry with paper towels, this helps to get them crispy in the air fryer.

Step 3

In a medium sized bowl add the chicken wings, olive oil, and 2 Tbsp chicken wing dry rub. Mix everything together until the wings are evenly coated.

Step 4

Lay the wings in a single layer and cook them for a total of 17-19 minutes, flipping them after 9-10 minutes. Air fryer models can cook differently, check the wings for doneness after 17 minutes total of cooking time and then finish cooking them until they're crisped to your preference.

Step 5

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like Ranch dressing, blue cheese, or BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
