How to Make Air Fryer Jack In The Box Classic Wings
Step 1: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve extra crispiness.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the wings and toss until well coated.
Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
Step 4: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 380°F for 25–28 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
Step 5: Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
