Mix the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic granules and paprika, then toss through the wings until evenly coated.
3
Heat the air fryer to 200C. Put the wings in the basket in one layer, in batches if they do not fit without overlapping.
4
Cook for 25 minutes, turning them every 8 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and crisp.
