Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon aluminum free baking powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons sea salt

For Finishing

3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup hot sauce like Frank’s
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Dry the wings off with paper towels and place in a large bowl
In a small bowl, stir together the baking powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
Toss the wings with the seasoning mixture until the wings are coated.
If you have time, let the wings sit at room temperature for an hour, or refrigerate overnight. (Optional.)
Set your Ninja Foodi to Air Fry, and set the temperature to 400° F.
Add the wings to your air fryer basket, cooking in batches to not overcrowd.
Cook for 13 to 16 minutes, and then transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Cook the remaining wings and transfer to a plate and cover.
Remove the air fryer basket from the Foodi, and set it to saute. Add the butter. Once the butter is melted add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.
Toss the wings with the hot sauce and serve warm.
