  • Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Dry wings produce crispier skin. Toss them with yogurt and the seasonings until evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (198°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer without overcrowding the basket. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Decrease the temperature to 380°F (193°C) for the final 10 minutes to achieve an extra crispy finish.
  • Once the wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C),
  • Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks.
