  • Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
  • Combine paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and toss until evenly covered.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Arrange chicken in the basket of the preheated air fryer in a single layer, not touching. Cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier wings, increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
