Yummy, Yummy, Crunch, Crunch! Let’s make some crispy chicken wings, shall we? The good thing about these Breaded Chicken Wings is that if you make them in the air fryer.

Just flour and a bit of seasoning are all that you need to give these wings their crunchy texture and tasty flavor. If you have a chicken seasoning blend that you like then go right ahead and use that. I like to play around with different seasonings. So, for this, I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Smoked paprika gives off so much more flavor than regular paprika. So, if extra flavor is what you are looking for, then you surely do not want to miss out on adding smoked paprika.

Alright, enough overview. Let’s get started on making these Breaded Chicken Wings. The ingredients that you will need to make this recipe are 20 raw frozen or raw thawed wings, that are washed and cleaned, salt and pepper, to taste, ¼ cup of flour, 1⁄2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika. To make these Breaded Chicken Wings, first, in a small bowl make the flour mixture by mixing flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Then, place the wings in a large bowl and season them with salt and pepper. Add the seasoned flour mixture and toss it on the wings to coat them evenly. 

Now, you can either air fry these or bake them. You can also try them in oil, but I typically avoid that method. In this recipe, I am sharing how to both air fry and bake them. To air-fry them, place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 to 22 minutes at 400°F. Be sure to shake about every 5 minutes. Then, serve and enjoy your delicious food! 

If you are baking, spray a baking sheet with oil. Place the wings on the baking sheet and spray the top of them. Then, bake the wings at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Finally, Serve and Enjoy your Breaded Chicken Wings!

You will notice just how crispy and flavorful these wings are when you take a bite. They are truly juicy and delicious! Hopefully, you enjoy making these wings and serve them with any dipping sauce of your choice. Just have fun!
