How to make Air Fryer Tajin Chicken Wings

As promised, here is my secret trick for crispy chicken skin… the first step is patting 1 1/2 pounds of chicken wings dry very well with paper towels.

These are jumbo spilt wings, but whole wings work too.

Put them in a bowl and add a tablespoon of baking powder, which is the second part of my crispy skin trick.

Then add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Tajin along with some kosher salt and pepper.

Not too much salt is needed since Tajin already contains some salt.

adding Takin seasoning to the wings

Mix the wings together until they are well coated.

Then place them in the air fryer basket.

I rolled the wings in the leftover seasoning at the bottom of the bowl before placing them in the air fryer basket.

Finally set the air fryer to 390 degrees for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the skin is cooked how you like.
