Ingredients

• 1 package of BetterGoods Chicken Wings with Louisiana-Style Dry Rub (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)

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 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 with cooking spray to help enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cayenne pepper and smoked paprika for extra flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Wings

• Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook for an additional 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: Serve & Enjoy

• Transfer the wings to a serving dish and let them rest for a minute.

• Garnish with chopped parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangy balance.

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

How to Serve These Wings

• Game Day Favorite: Pair with crispy fries, coleslaw, or cornbread.

• Spicy Wing Platter: Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

• Southern Feast: Enjoy with dirty rice, mac & cheese, or collard greens for a full Louisiana-inspired meal.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure an even crisp on both sides.

• For a spicy kick, toss in hot sauce or sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning before serving.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want a buttery finish? Toss the wings in a little melted butter and hot sauce before serving.
