Heat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.
Add flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic granules into a large mixing bowl and mix.
Toss between 6 and 9 chicken wings in the flour to coat evenly. Shake off the excess flour.
A few tips before you begin: 1. It is important not to overcrowd the basket with chicken wings. Don't pile them up. Carefully arrange them and even stand some of them up, so they have enough airflow. 2. Work in batches, if needed. When working in batches, cook the chicken wings about 75% of the way, and then do the next batch. For the first round of cooking, leave the wings in the fryer for 15 minutes at 360 degrees. Take them out and set aside and do the second batch, and as many batches as needed.
For the second round, turn the heat up to 390 degrees and finish cooking for about another 5-10 minutes. There’s a bit of an art to the timing. You don’t want to just “set it and forget it” here. Keep an eye on the wings and cook them until they are crispy and brown.
While the chicken wings cook, prep your hot sauce. Heat it up on the stove and melt a little butter into the sauce. When the wings are done, put them in a large bowl so you can toss them with the sauce. Enjoy!
