Ingredients

• 1 package of BetterGoods Chicken Wings with Garlic Butter Dry Rub (frozen)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for added flavor)

• ½ tsp extra garlic powder (optional, for stronger garlic flavor)

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a deeper color and smoky taste)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the wings start crisping up immediately when they hit the hot air.

Step 2: Prepare the Wings

1. Remove the frozen wings from the packaging and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray the wings with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.

3. For even more flavor, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle extra garlic powder and paprika before air frying.

Step 3: Air Fry the Wings

• Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure an even crisp on both sides.

• For extra crispy skin, increase the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.

• The wings should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Toss with Extra Flavor & Serve

• Once done, transfer the wings to a bowl and, if desired, drizzle with additional melted butter for an even richer garlic butter taste.

• Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh contrast.

• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, blue cheese, or honey mustard.

How to Serve These Wings

• Game Day Snack: Serve with a side of celery and carrot sticks and a cold beverage.

• Dinner Idea: Pair with roasted vegetables, garlic parmesan fries, or a side salad for a full meal.

• Spicy Kick: Toss with a few dashes of hot sauce or sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Shake the basket halfway through to ensure all sides of the wings cook evenly.

• For extra crispy wings, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

• Want a smoky twist? Sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika before air frying.

• Need a dipping sauce? These wings pair well with garlic aioli, ranch, or a honey-garlic glaze.
