Ingredients

2½ pounds turkey wings, split
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons dry rub seasoning (recipe below) (or your favorite seasoning)

Dry Rub Seasoning

1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoon roasted garlic and peppers seasoning a Clubhouse seasoning
⅔ teaspoon paprika
⅔ teaspoon onion powder
⅓ teaspoon chili powder
⅓ teaspoon seasoning salt
⅙ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380℉.
Pat the turkey wings dry with paper towels. Brush or spray with olive oil, coating all sides.
In a small bowl, mix the dry rub ingredients. Season the turkey wings generously all over, making sure to get into the folds and crevices.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for airflow. Air fry for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
The wings are done when they are browned and crisp on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 165℉ in the thickest part.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or cranberry sauce.

Notes

Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the basket.
The thicker drumette portion may need an extra 1 to 3 minutes.
If the wings are browning too quickly, lower the temperature slightly for the last few minutes.
For a quick gravy, pour the drippings into a saucepan and thicken with a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water.
