Equipment

  • Air Fryer (I use the Cosori 5.8 Qt)
  • Air Fryer Silicone Pot (optional)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings + drumettes
  • 2 Tbsp Korean Magic Dust
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Korean Magic Dust BBQ Rub:

  • 1/2 cup Gochukaru (Korean dried chili flakes)
  • 1/2 cup smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup sea salt (finely ground)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 2 Tbsp mustard powder
  • 2 Tbsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp cayenne

Optional garnish:

  • 1 green onion, minced
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • sprinkle sesame seeds

Instructions

Korean Magic Dust BBQ rub:

  • In a large bowl, combine ingredients and mix until well combined. Transfer and store in a sealed, air-tight container. Sprinkle onto fries, roasted vegetables, burgers, chicken, ribs -- everything!

Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings:

  • Preheat. Turn on the preheat function on the Air Fryer. My Air Fryer preheats at 400F for 5 minutes.
  • Marinate chicken. In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with Korean Magic Dust BBQ rub, corn starch, and salt. Mix until well combined, with hands, until the corn starch is no longer visible.
  • Air Fry. Transfer half of the chicken wings to the Air Fryer. Arrange wings and drumettes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. It's ok if the wings are slightly touching. Cook at 380F for 18 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through. Repeat with the second half of the chicken wings.
  • *For my Air Fryer (Cosori 5.8Qt), half of the chicken wings fit easily into the basket. They can safely stay in one position the entire cooking time. Just make sure to shake the basket halfway through!
  • Garnish and enjoy! Transfer chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with green onion, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

*Conventional Oven instructions:  Spread out chicken wings on foil lined sheet pan.  Roast at 400F until cooked through and crispy looking, about 40-45 minutes.
