Ready in less than 30 minutes, these wings are flavourful and juicy. Perfect as an addition to lunch or dinner or as a game day snack. Recipe is below.

Ingredients:

• Chicken wings – about 1 lb
• Olive oil – 2 tbsps
• Sossy’s special spice mix – I use a mix of suya spice (a West African spice blend), garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, ginger powder and black pepper. I use about 4 tbsp of this mix to ensure the wings are generously coated
• Lemon – half a lemon

Cooking Instructions:

• Wash chicken thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels, then transfer to a bowl
• Drizzle with olive oil
• Add spice blend
• Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the bowl
• Mix thoroughly until the wings are well coated
• Cover with and set in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight
• Once marinated, preheat air fryer at 200 C
• Line air fryer basket with parchment paper (optional)
• Transfer chicken wings into air fryer basket and set timer to 20 minutes. Be sure not to crowd the wings in the basket to ensure even baking.
• At the 10 minute mark, remove basket and flip the wings to ensure the other side is well cooked as well
• After 20 minutes, the wings should be ready. Test with a thermometer to ensure it is well cooked. Internal temperature should be at least 165 degrees
• If you want the wings browned a little more, you can add 2 minutes to the air fryer time
• Remove wings once ready and serve
• Optional – I served these wings with a side of celery sticks, carrot sticks and a dip made with a mix of sour cream and ketchup.
• Enjoy!
