These Ninja Foodi air fryer chicken wings are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and covered in some of my favorite seasonings. They’re every bit as good as deep-fried wings, and they only take about 30 minutes to make. Plus, they’re keto-friendly.

If you know me, then you know that I love chicken wings. They’re one of my favorite foods. A good wing has a great crunch when you bite into it, and moist meat.

But you don’t need to use a deep fryer to get that crunch. You can make wings that are just as crispy in your air fryer! These air fried chicken wings have a perfect texture and have become one of my go-to wing recipes.

The flavor in these wings is also excellent. It’s a simple but intense spice blend of garlic, onion, paprika, and pepper. It adds a strong pop of flavor to this tender meat. 

Why You’ll Love These Crispy Air Fried Chicken Wings

I make these juicy wings all the time. Here are some of the reasons why you’ll love them so much.

  • Fast. These wings only take 30 minutes from start to finish. That’s so much faster than if you were to make chicken wings in the oven. These are common weekday meals or snacks for me because of how quickly I can make them.
  • Healthy. When you order wings at a restaurant, they’re usually deep fried. That’s not very healthy! Because these wings are cooked in the air fryer, they don’t need lots of oil. Chicken wings have enough natural fat that this recipe only uses a small drizzle of oil. This keto-friendly recipe is basically just chicken and seasoning! 
  • No mess. One of my favorite things about cooking in the air fryer is eliminating mess. There’s no oil splattering when you cook in the air fryer. There’s also no leftover oil to have to deal with. 
  • Crispy. No matter how fast, healthy, and easy to make wings are, they still need to taste delicious. And good chicken wings need to be crispy. This recipe uses baking powder to increase the crunch.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s everything you need to make these flavorful keto wings. Be sure to check out the recipe card at the bottom of the article to see the exact quantities for each ingredient.

  • Chicken wings – Make sure the wings are sectioned into flats and drums.
  • Sea salt 
  • Black pepper – For best results, use freshly ground black pepper.
  • Smoked paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Baking powder – It’s important to note that you cannot substitute baking soda for baking powder.

How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Here’s how to make this easy and flavorful 30-minute air fryer chicken recipe. 

  • Dry the chicken. Remove the chicken from the fridge and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  • Make the spice rub. Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. 
  • Season the wings. Sprinkle the spice rub on the chicken, and toss until it’s well coated.
  • Add oil. Place the wings in the basket of your air fryer and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Cook. Turn your air fryer on to 400F, or to 390F if using the Ninja foodi. Cook the wings for 12-15 minutes.
  • Flip. Flip all of the wings over.
  • Finish cooking. Cook the wings for another 12-15 minutes, then serve hot.

Cooking Tips and Variations 

Here are some tricks, tips, and variations to try when making this crispy chicken. 

  • Bring the chicken to room temperature. If you have the time, remove your chicken from the fridge about 30 minutes before making this recipe. If the wings are at room temperature when you cook them, they’ll stay juicier in the air fryer.
  • Space them out. Make sure to not crowd the wings in the air fryer basket. There should be space between each wing, which will allow the wings to get crispy. If you have too many wings to cook without crowding, then cook the wings in batches.
  • Dry the wings. This recipe tells you to dry the wings before seasoning them. Make sure to take that step seriously. The drier the wings, the crispier they’ll get in the air fryer. 
  • Adjust the seasonings. I love this spice rub, but feel free to mix it up based on your tastes. If you like a more intensely-flavored piece of chicken, add a little extra garlic, onion, and paprika. If you’re a fan of spicy wings, you can add some chili powder. 

What to Serve With Juicy Air Fried Wings

I’m a huge fan of serving crispy wings with a good sauce to dip them in. Here are some of my favorite sauces to serve with this recipe.

  • Best Keto Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
  • Homemade Low Carb Keto Ranch Dressing
  • Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce
  • Copycat Chick-fil-A Sauce

And these are some of my favorite sides to serve with this chicken.

  • Keto Creamed Spinach Recipe
  • Best Air Fryer Vegetable Recipes
  • Keto Side Dishes for Chicken

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

These air fried wings will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. You can reheat in the air fryer at 360F for 6-7 minutes, or in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes.

Can I Freeze This Recipe? 

You can definitely freeze these wings. Store them in an airtight container and they’ll last in the freezer for 3 months. You can reheat them straight from the freezer, but you’ll need to add a few minutes of cooking time.

Recommended Equipment

Ninja Foodi

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Wings, sectioned into flats and drums
  • 1/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder, You cannot swap baking soda in this recipe – I promise that the wings will not taste good if you do
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Remove the chicken wing parts from the refrigerator and pat dry (removing as much moisture as possible helps to have a crispy wing skin).
  • Mix the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder in a small dish or ramekin.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the wings and toss to coat.
  • Place the wings on the cooking basket. In the Ninja Foodi, this is called the “Cook & Crisp” basket. 
  • Drizzle olive oil on the chicken wings.
  • Use the Air Crisp setting on 390 degrees for the Ninja Foodi or 400 degrees on other fryers to cook the wings for 12-15 minutes per side. 
  • Enjoy the wings alone or add your favorite keto or low-carb dips and sauces. 

Recipe Notes

Store the wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in a 360F air fryer for 6-7 minutes, or in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes.

    These chicken wings were better than any commercially fried wings.. used different spices and no oil . They key I believe to this recipe is the baking powder. The wings were so crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside.

    This was my first time trying my air fryer with chicken wings. The seasoning was delicious they were perfectly crispy. I did two batches and realized they must be smaller than yours because they needed less time (26minutes) will definitely make again! Better than any pub for sure

    This is my go to recipe for wings in my air fryer! I follow Dr. Davinah on Instagram and her posts of all of her delicious creations prompted me to purchase the Ninja Foodi. Now, my food doesn’t always look at delectable as hers! But EVERYTHING I’ve made is delicious! These wings are quick, easy & flavorful. They are crispy and juicy and so good! (With or without one of her yummy sauces!)

      Hi Rebecca,

      Thanks for asking. I was able to update the blog post to answer this question. Essentially, if you don’t use baking powder, the wings have more of a oven roasted/broiled texture similar to my spicy dry rub wings (I didn’t use baking powder in that recipe).

      Hope that helps!

    I just got the Foodi XL 9 in 1 cooker for Christmas!😊
    Super excited to start using all of its functions (pressure cooked a roast…yumm!] But I have a question….
    Can you use the air crisper/fryer rack in the crisper basket (the smaller of the two racks) for a double layer of wings? This product advetized as being large enough for a family (and even says “small crowd”!) I can not feed my family on 12 wings as you show fitting here.
    If I do it in batches, keeping first batch in oven to stay hot, I am increasing the time back to what it takes in the oven, and dirtying a second sheet pan (liked the idea of one pot dirty!😊

      Hi Debbie,

      Congrats on getting a new Foodi. It’s one of my favorite appliances. I haven’t tried to use the rack. Since air flow is important to getting these wings as crispy as pictured, I’ll say that you could try to do a double layer with the rack, but you will likely need to adjust the cooking time. I’d start with 15 minutes, flip the wings, check at 10 minutes, and then check in on them in 5 minute intervals until they are crisp enough for you.

      Hope that helps. Please let me know how it turns out.

      Best,

      Hi Ann,

      I haven’t tried to do this. I also wouldn’t recommend it since air flow is really important for getting these crispy. When I’m making a lot of wings, I simply cook them in the oven with my baked chicken wings recipe.

    Thanks for the assist. Everything was great except for the cooking time. I went with 12 minutes (I have a Ninja Foodie) and they looked pretty done so I did 8 minutes for the second rotation. My wings were still over done. For my 2nd batch I did 10 minutes and then 8 minutes – wings were still a little harder than I would like. Perhaps because I used wingettes? Next time I will go with 8 & maybe 6 to 8 the 2nd rotation.

      Hi Regina,

      Yes – the cook time will vary based on how large your wings are. I’m using whole chicken wings and cut them into parts or whole wings. In the future (and as you mention), you can just pop open the air fryer and take a look at them to get them as crisp as you like.

      Thanks so much for stopping back to provide feedback and a review.

    This was my first attempt at Ninja Foodi wings and I was not disappointed! Such simple ingredients come together for a truly delicious wing! My husband loved them! So crispy and delicious!

    I realize I’m a little late to this recipe, but oh my, just made them tonight and they were wonderful! Coated the finished wings with one of the Asian BBQ sauces I’ve been playing with and they were absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for the cooking recipe. Nice and crispy and yummy!

    What do you do differently if your wings are frozen…like mentioned up in the article.

      Hi Jada,

      I just changed the section header so that the directions with frozen wings stand out more. When my wings are frozen, I use the cold water method to thaw them out quickly. It takes about 30 minutes. The Foodi manual recommends using the pressure cooker and 1/2 cup of water for 5 minutes, but I don’t use that one because you can accidentally start to cook the wings. After the wings are thawed, you can follow the rest of the directions.

      Hope that helps!

    Your recipe is amazing!! Every piece of advice was spot on! These were the best tasting wings I’ve ever had the mix of spices was perfect! My family devoured them before I even had a chance to have seconds. Definitely a new favorite!

    Excellent flavor and tricks to getting the crunchiest wings! I covered all the chicken with the seasoning but worried it was too much — it wasn’t! Husband gave a silent munching thumbs up and asked if there were more. Winner winner air fried chicken dinner!

    The Ninja Foodie does not have temperatures above 210. What function are you using and how do you select 400 degrees? Thank you.

      Hi Karen – it seems like you are measuring in Celsius. All of the temperatures across the site are in Fahrenheit. In your case, you can set your Foodi to about 205 degrees. Thanks!

    In the nutrition facts, how many wings are considered a serving?

    Reply
    • Davinah says

      February 18, 2020 at 11:02 am

      Hi Tia,

      It’s 1/2 lb of wings per person. For me, that’s usually 4-5 wings.

      Thanks,
      Davinah

    This is the first time I made wings in my Ninja Foodi and lucky me chose this great recipe. Crispy lightly seasoned and tender and juicy inside. They were perfect and so easy to make. My husband and I will always make them this way and forget about the restaurant wings. Thank you Dr. Davinah

    My husband was convinced these would not turn out good b/c they are “air fried.” But honeyyyyyyyyyyy your recipe and directions are the bomb! He is having me make these again today for the superbowl. Thank you again for the recipe!

    My question is about the 12-15 minutes ‘per side.’
    Since the wings are on racks and circulating air is what is cooking them, what is the need of turning them?

      Hi Juli!

      You can absolutely test this out for yourself, but after owning several brands of air fryers, I find that you still need to flip the food over to ensure even cooking and browning. Plus, even though the air circulates, the heating element is still on top.

      Thanks,
      Davinah

    Sooo Yummy ? I put your seasonings in a Ziploc baggie and shook my fresh chicken drummettes in it and then into my Ninja Foodi. Came out great and then mixed them into different flavors for the family. Plain, Salt-n-Vinegar, BBQ, Buffalo. I’ve been trying different basic wing seasonings and yours is the winner.

      Hi Terri!

      I’m so happy that you enjoyed these and mixed them in some different flavors! I’ll have to use your Ziploc idea since that’s a guaranteed way of getting all the wings evenly tossed! Appreciate that you took the time to stop back and comment.
