Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Chicken wings If using whole wings, cut into flats and drumettes; discard tips.
  • 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the olive oil.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
  4. Coat each wing in the almond flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  5. Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.

  7. Serve immediately with a side of celery and carrot sticks, along with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer to regain their crispiness.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze uncooked breaded wings. Just coat them as usual, then freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a zip-top bag.
  • Tip 3: These wings pair beautifully with a fresh salad or veggie sticks.
  • Tip 4: Experiment with different flavored coatings like buffalo sauce or teriyaki glaze for a twist on the classic.
  • Tip 5: Adjust the quantity of wings based on gatherings.
