Instruments and Utensils
- air fryer (I’ve this one, however XL)

Directions
Prep
Wash your rooster and pat dry to take away extra water. Place inside giant mixing bowl and put aside.
In a gallon-sized storage bag, add your rice flour, corn starch, Brown Sugar Smoke, rooster bullion, onion salt, granulated garlic, and sage. Seal the bag and shake to completely combine. Upon opening the bag, it’s best to be capable to see the seasoning.
Crack your eggs into the small or medium-sized mixing bowl and beat till they’re absolutely blended.
Season
Add mustard to rooster wings, adjusting the quantity in case you plan to cook dinner roughly. Mustard ought to type a skinny coating on the skin of the rooster and be seen, however simply barely. I promise, you will not style it ultimately.
Add your second spherical of Brown Sugar Smoke, rooster bullion, onion salt, granulated garlic, and sage on to the wings and blend till all wings are coated evenly. Be at liberty so as to add extra of every to season to your specific tastes. Simply watch out with the rooster bullion — it is salty and might start to overpower the opposite flavors.
“Batter”
Arrange a mini meeting line for your self on this order: bowl of rooster, bowl with crushed eggs, storage bag with flour, plate/parchment paper/slicing board.
Dip every wing individually into the crushed eggs, then drop them into the storage bag of flour till you attain 6-7 wings. As soon as there are 6 or so wings within the bag, seal it up and shake to evenly coat all wings within the flour combination.
Open the bag and take away wings one-by-one, tapping them gently to shake unfastened the surplus flour. As you place them on the plate, parchment paper, or slicing board, faucet them once more earlier than laying all the way down to take away extra unfastened flour.
Repeat for remaining rooster wings.
Set
Pre-heat your air fryer to 400 F.
Whereas the air fryer warms up, let your wings to set for about 10 minutes (in case you do not wish to go away them out, within the fridge is okay). This permits the moisture from the wings and the eggs to be absorbed by the flour, which can contribute to a crispy, battered-like exterior. About midway by the ten minutes, flip them over.
The wings will nonetheless have some spots of white flour, however ought to for probably the most half, seem like they’ve a yellow-y batter on them.
“Fry”
As soon as your wings are set and the air fryer is sizzling n’ prepared, it is time to go! Lay your wings contained in the air fryer, leaving sufficient area between every one for warm air to flow into. For me, which means cooking about 6-7 wings at a time.
Subsequent, seize your cooking spray, and spend a number of seconds spraying the coating of the wings. Give a lil’ further squirt to any areas that also look powdery and white.
Shut your air fryer and cook dinner the wings on 400 F for 6-7 minutes, relying upon their dimension and thickness. After 6-7 minutes, open the air fryer, gently shake to loosen any caught wings, and flip them over.
Coat with extra cooking spray, once more being attentive to any powder, white areas. Cook dinner for an additional 5-6 minutes.
The candy spot for my wings was 13 minutes per batch — however yours might take much less or extra time relying upon their dimension and thickness. When cooking your first set, pay further consideration to how lengthy your wings take — and base your whole timing on that.
Whereas your first batch of wings cook dinner, get a tray or dish and line it with a number of paper towels — identical to you’d from deep frying. Alternatively, you’ll be able to set them on a wire cooling rack. The aim is to protect the crispness of the wings whereas the opposite batches cook dinner.
Optionally available: set wings in oven on a low temperature (180 F) to remain heat whereas the remainder of the wings cook dinner within the air fryer.
Get pleasure from!
Sprinkle a little bit extra Brown Sugar Smoke on high of your wings as a “ending salt” (or “fried rooster mud” as @mrsewill calls it) and serve. I paired our wings with gluten-free waffles, creamy grits, eggs, and a robust cup of espresso.
Brunch is served, my associates.
Scorching Tip: If you find yourself with leftover wings, simply pop them within the air fryer for a couple of minutes to reheat. Recent, sizzling, crispy wings shall be yours to take pleasure in over again! 🙌🏽
