Notes
TIPS
If you wash your chicken like I do, immediately clean the surfaces it comes in contact with to avoid contamination.
Pat the wings dry before seasoning so as not to dilute the seasoning and bbq marinade.
You can take part of the skin off if you are aiming for lower calories and healthier chicken.
Put in the fridge to marinate for an hour if you are not in a hurry to get it cooking.
Adjust the black pepper quantity according to preference.
No need to preheat the air fryer.
The brand of bbq sauce you use may affect the taste.
You might need to adjust cooking time if using smaller or bigger pieces of wings
