Notes
Purchasing precut party wings at the store makes this recipe even easier. They commonly come in packages mixed drumettes and wingettes or as a package of either.
To make the cajun dry rub wings crispy, add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the wings when you add the cajun seasoning and olive oil. Increase the oil to 2 tablespoon total to make sure the wings get well coated.
To air fry cajun chicken wings, preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes. Air fry them in a single layer for a total of 18+ minutes until cooked through and crispy to your liking. Flip halfway through the cooking time.
If you're following a keto or low carb lifestyle check the labels when using store-bought cajun seasoning. The N'awlins brand we purchased has 0 carbs per serving.
