                                Air Fryer Chicken Wings: 

                                • 1 package raw chicken wings 
                                • 1/2 cup corn starch

                                  1. Prepare your chicken wings. Using a sharp knife, cut off the wing tip, then find the point of separation between the drum and flat and cut there to separate them. 
                                  2. Mix corn starch, flour, and seasonings. 
                                  3. Pat chicken wings dry with a paper towel. 
                                  4. Coat each wing thoroughly in the dry mixture and set aside on a plate. 
                                  5. Head over to your air fryer! Arrange the wings in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd. 
                                  6. Air fry at 400F for 23-25 minutes. Times will vary depending on your air fryer, so don't be afraid to check on them/ shake them around about halfway through. 
                                  7. Once done, coat in the sauce of your choosing and enjoy some crispy wings!
