Instructions

Coat the air fryer basket with oil and set aside.
Add all of the ingredients for the dry seasoning to a zip lock bag along with the chicken and shake the bag.
Place the chicken wings in the basket (you might have to do this in batches) being careful not to overcrowd.
Set the air fryer to 180c/356f for 20 minutes and turn the chicken half way through.
Meanwhile add the ingredients for the glaze to a saucepan on medium heat then stir and heat through until the butter is melted and set aside.
2 minutes before the chicken wings are done cooking, open the fryer basket and use a pastry brush to glaze the chicken.
Increase the temperature to 200c/400f for the remaining 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken wings with the glaze which will double up as your dipping sauce

Notes

Be sure to check out the frequently asked questions as well.
Make sure to thoroughly rinse the chicken and pat it dry before dredging. I always wash my chicken using my Caribbean custom which is lime and vinegar but do what works for you.
You can use arrow root starch if you don't have tapioca starch that is another grain free alternative.
Air fryers vary so temperature and cooking time may differ. I'm using a Phillips XL air fryer.
Feel free to use my Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning if you want to.
Make sure to reserve the glaze (don't throw it away) the glaze makes a great dip or you may want to pour and coat the chicken with it instead. It's all about what you prefer.
I used 2lb of chicken wings which serves up to 4 people.
Don't use too much starch, I find that too much flour/starch removes the flavour leaving the chicken bland and tasteless.
Serve the wings immediately or re-heat them in the air fryer so they become crispy again.
