Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 24 Chicken Wings
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Cherry BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees. Prepare the air fryer basket with olive oil spray, nonstick cooking spray, or parchment paper AFTER you've preheated the air fryer.
  • Rinse and completely dry the chicken wings.
  • Mix the garlic powder and brown sugar together and use as a dry rub over the wings. For extra crispy wings, add a pinch of baking powder to the seasoning before coating the wings.
  • Place the wings in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer.
  • Cook the wings at 380° Fahrenheit for 16 minutes, flipping the wings every 4 minutes. Increase the heat to 400° Fahrenheit and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings have reached an internal temperature of 165°. Add 1-2 minutes time if needed.
  • Remove the chicken wings from the air fryer and place them into a medium sized mixing bowl. Coat the wings with our Cherry BBQ sauce and toss until they are completely coated.
  • Serve with carrots, celery, and ranch dipping sauce.
