Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large turkey wings separated at the joins if desired
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). If your air fryer has a preheat setting, use that.
- Wash the turkey wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil or melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Toss the turkey wings in this mixture until they are well-coated.
- Place the turkey wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there's some space between each wing for proper air circulation. You might have to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry the turkey wings for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. If you have a thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Size of Wings Matters: Larger wings may require a slightly longer cooking time, so adjust accordingly.
- Flipping is Key: Remember to flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
- Spice to Your Liking: Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your heat preference.
- Air Fryer Variations: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on the wings, especially the first time you try this recipe.
- Serving Suggestion: These wings are best served hot and fresh from the air fryer. If you have leftovers, they can be reheated in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
