How to cook it

Cooking cue

Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F.
  2. Combine garlic powder, garlic salt, ground mustard, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, allspice, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly blended.
  3. Prepare the chicken wings by cutting them into sections. Use a sharp knife to locate the joints and separate each wing into three parts: the tip, wingette (flat), and drumette. Discard the wing tips or save them for stock.
  4. Pat the wingettes and drumettes completely dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispier skin.
  5. Add the dried wing pieces to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Arrange wings in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. You'll need to work in batches.
  8. Air fry at 300°F for 15 minutes.
  9. Increase the temperature to 400°F and continue cooking for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they're golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  10. Remove the first batch and keep warm while you repeat the cooking process with any remaining wings.
  11. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  12. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
  13. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.

Cook times may vary by air fryer model; start checking at the lower end of the time range. Wings are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear. The baking soda in the rub helps create extra crispy skin. Optional sauces can be served on the side; choose sugar-free versions to keep keto-friendly.
