This basic recipe will give you gorgeous wings that you can toss in your preferred sauce. I promise you that these wings are at least as good if not better than the deep-fried variety. The baking powder reacts with the fat in the chicken skin making it bubble a little and then turning it wonderfully golden and crispy. The secret to making fabulously crispy chicken wings in an air fryer is drying them well with some kitchen towel before tossing them in some baking powder and a little starch – cornflour, potato flour or tapioca starch are all good for this. I am kicking off this mini-series of recipes with what is, without doubt, one of the very best things you can cook in an air fryer, crispy chicken wings.

I will show you how to produce fabulous food, that is easy to cook, healthier than the deep-fried alternative but absolutely delicious. Over the next few weeks, I am going to share some of my favourite air fryer recipes with you. I use mine daily and I would not be without it at this stage.

So, for example, you can make gorgeous chips but only use a few teaspoons of oil. It uses a high-speed fan to circulate hot air inside the fryer and when you add just a little oil, that gets vaporised and coats the food you are cooking. An air fryer is essentially a small, powerful convection oven. It is a wonderful tool you just need to understand how it works and what it can do to get the best out of it. I got over my disappointment when I discovered what an air fryer can do.
