If not already done, cut the wings into drumettes and flats. Using paper towels, pat dry each wing (helps crispiness!).

In a large bowl, gently toss the chicken wings with avocado oil.

Seasoning mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Coating the Wings: Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken wings and toss.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.

Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Air fry for 8-9 minutes, then flip the wings. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they're golden.

Add BBQ sauce: Remove the wings from the air fryer and brush each piece with BBQ sauce.

Return the wings to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. You can ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce if desired. Pair with a side of crunchy celery sticks and a Greek yogurt dip (healthier alternative to blue cheese or ranch dressing).
