For those seeking a quick and flavour-packed meal, air fryer chicken wings with a homemade dry rub are a brilliant choice. To create the ultimate dry rub, combine a mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a hint of cayenne for a touch of heat. Simply pat the chicken wings dry, toss them in the spice blend until evenly coated, and let them sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Once ready, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (around 400°F). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space for even cooking. Air fry for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for that perfect crispiness. Serve these delectable wings with a side of cooling dip, perhaps a refreshing ranch or tangy blue cheese dressing, and you'll have a delightful dish that's sure to impress at any gathering!
