Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl

- 1 kitchen paper towels
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional, for heat.

Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper towels to ensure they become crispy during cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.

- Once preheated, place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking.
- Cook the wings for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
