Instructions
 

Prep the Wings: Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.

    Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

      Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden brown and crispy.

          Final Touch: Return the coated wings to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to allow the cheese to melt and become slightly crisp.
