Get everything ready first. Turn your air fryer to 400°F and start prepping the wings. Grab some paper towels and pat every single wing until they're bone dry - trust me, this matters more than you think for getting that crispy skin. Toss them all in a big mixing bowl so you have space to work.

Mix up your spice blend. Dump all your spices in a small bowl - garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir until everything's mixed up and smelling amazing.

Get those wings coated. Pour the olive oil over the wings and toss everything around until they're all shiny. Here's where it gets fun - sprinkle half your spice mix over the wings and really work it in with your hands, getting into all the little spaces. Do the same thing with the rest of the spices.

Time to cook them. Put several wings in your air fryer basket, skin down, but don't jam them together. They need room to breathe and get crispy. Cook for 8 minutes, flip them over, then another 8 minutes until they hit 165°F on your thermometer.

Keep them coming. Since you're working in batches, keep finished wings warm in a 250°F oven on a baking sheet while you finish the rest. This way everyone sits down to hot, crispy wings instead of some people getting cold ones while you finish cooking.

Serve them up. Get these hot wings on the table with whatever dipping sauces your family loves - ranch, blue cheese, BBQ, buffalo, whatever makes you happy. Throw some carrot and celery sticks on the side and you're all set.
