With a homemade blend of spices, these wings can be prepared with fresh or frozen wings. Serve with a side salad or French fries, or enjoy them as a wings and pizza party. For extra flavor, dip the wings in ranch or blue cheese dressing.
No Air Fryer? No problem!
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the chicken wings in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While it is warming up, season the wings and then place the wings on a baking sheet (we use parchment paper for easy cleaning), and bake for 45 minutes. To make sure both sides of the wings are crispy, turn them halfway through the baking time.
The internal temperature of the wings when finished should be 165 degrees.
