Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large turkey wings
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Cooking Ingredient:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse turkey wings under cool water and meticulously pat completely dry using kitchen paper towels to ensure optimal seasoning adherence.
- Craft a robust flavor profile by whisking melted butter with an aromatic blend of salt, freshly ground black pepper, pungent garlic powder, sweet onion powder, smoky paprika, fragrant dried thyme, and a whisper of cayenne for subtle heat.
- Lavishly coat each wing with the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring every crevice and surface absorbs the complex spice blend.
- Strategically arrange wings in the air fryer basket, maintaining minimal overlap to promote even circulating heat and maximum crispiness.
- Program air fryer to 375°F and initiate cooking process, allowing wings to transform into golden, crackling delicacies.
- Midway through cooking, delicately flip wings to guarantee uniform browning and consistent texture across all surfaces.
- Verify doneness by piercing wings with a precise meat thermometer; confirm internal temperature reaches the critical 165°F safety threshold.
- Allow wings to rest momentarily after cooking, permitting juices to redistribute and enhance overall succulence.
- Plate immediately while piping hot, presenting a delectable centerpiece ready to tantalize discerning palates.
Notes
- Pat the turkey wings thoroughly to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming in the air fryer.
- Let the seasoned wings sit for 15 minutes before cooking to allow spices to penetrate deeply into the meat.
- Use a reliable meat thermometer to guarantee food safety and perfectly cooked wings every time.
- For a lower-fat version, replace butter with olive oil or use a light cooking spray to reduce calories while maintaining flavor.
