2 pounds chicken wings, cleaned and dried
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
For the sauce (choose one):
½ cup buffalo chicken wing sauce (Buffalo Sauce)

Instructions
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the wings are cooking, prepare your sauce of choice.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour your sauce over them, tossing to coat thoroughly.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
