Instructions

If not already done, cut the wings into drumettes and flats. Using paper towels, pat the wings dry (this helps with crispiness!).
In a large bowl, gently toss the chicken wings with the avocado oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken wings and toss.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry at 350°F for 8 to 9 minutes, then flip the wings. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until they're golden.
