Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried chives
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
Optional Butter Ranch Glaze
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried chives
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
  • 1-2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your air fryer.
  2. Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which ensures the skin gets crispy.
  3. Place wings in a large bowl and toss with the chives, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until every wing is fully coated without bald spots.
  4. For oven baking: Line a sheet pan with a baking rack and arrange wings in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. For air frying: Place wings in the basket, spritz with oil, and cook at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes until crisp.
  6. Optional: Melt butter in a small bowl and whisk in the glaze seasonings. Drizzle over the hot wings and toss to coat before serving immediately.

Notes

Use a baking rack for the oven method to ensure airflow and prevent soggy bottoms. For a low-carb crispy boost, add 1-2 tablespoons of baking powder to the spice mix.
