Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (broken down according to preference)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp jerk paste*
  • ½ tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Toss the chicken wings in a zip top bag with the baking powder, salt, jerk paste, and avocado oil. Give the bag several good shakes, and use your hands to move the wings around in the bag, helping to evenly coat each one.
  2. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you will likely need to work in two batches). Air fry at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, then flip the wings. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Recipe Notes

  • Different jerk pastes have different levels of heat. For this, I feel like 2 tablespoons of Buscha Browne’s paste gives a comfortable, not overwhelming level of heat. Adjust based on your comfort level with heat, and keep in mind Walkerswood is a bit spicier if you’re using that.
