Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Wings

Pat your chicken wings really dry with paper towels—this step is key to getting crispy skin.

2. Coat & Season

In a large bowl, toss the wings with mustard and oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle on cornstarch, Creole seasoning, garlic, and onion powder. Toss again until every wing is coated.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 390°F for 3–5 minutes.

4. Cook the Wings

Arrange the wings in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Air fry for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness, bump the temp up to 400°F for the last 3–4 minutes.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Enjoy hot as they are, or toss in extra sauce—buffalo, honey mustard, or even BBQ all work great with this base seasoning.

Tips for the Crispiest Air Fryer Wings

• Don’t skip drying the wings before seasoning.
• Cook in a single layer—crowding = soggy wings.
• Want more heat? Add cayenne or hot sauce to the mustard mix.
• Like saucy wings? Toss them after air frying to keep the skin crisp.
• Cook longer if you like them extra crunchy—air fryers vary, so test your perfect level of crisp!
