- 1 ½ lbs. wing portions wingettes or drummettes
- 1 ½ Tbsp. oil avocado or olive
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tsp. salt to taste
- ½ tsp. black pepper

Instructions
-
Heat Air Fryer to 375°F for at least 3 minutes.
-
Whisk together oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
-
Add wing portions and toss until well coated.
-
Sprinkle wings with starch and toss again until they’re completely coated.

-
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F and return the wings to the fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispy wings.
