Airfried Chicken Wings and Kale Salad


My airfryer is supposed to be non-stick, but it is not.  I sprayed it with avocado oil before cooking and that did not help either. Hopefully your airfryer is non-stick because cleaning it is no fun.

I think the brand of chicken might matter for this.  I used the Safeway Signature brand and I think the skin is too thick. Maybe the chickens are bred different or maybe it needed more cooking time.  I read a variety of recipes online to figure out the timing.  The chicken was cooked well, but the skin was not particularly palatable to me.

Airfried Chicken Wings

Ingredients:
  • 9 chicken wings
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
  • dash of dried parsley
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • avocado oil spray for airfryer
Instructions:
  1. Defrost chicken.
  2. Pat chicken dry.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to chicken.
  4. Toss well ensuring that chicken is coated with seasonings.
  5. Spray airfryer pan with oil.
  6. Arrange chicken in pan, making sure not to overlap pieces.
  7. Airfry for 20 minutes at 375 degrees, then 10 minutes at 400.
  8. Enjoy!
