Take the wings and lay them out flat on a clean, dry paper towel. Pat them dry on both sides with more paper towels.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl.
To the wings in the bowl, add olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well so every piece is well coated.
Place the wings into the air fryer basket and turn it to 380°F. Cook for about 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Check the wings every 5-10 minutes or so, turning them so they are evenly cooked.
Increase the heat to 400°F. and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to make the skin nice and crispy.
Serve them with your choice of dipping sauces, and enjoy.

Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store the wings for up to 3-4 days.
When you're ready to enjoy the leftover wings, you can reheat them in the air fryer or oven to help restore their crispiness. Preheat the air fryer or oven to around 350°F (175°C) and heat the wings for a few minutes until they are heated through.
Did you know that you can use frozen wings in the air fryer? Frozen wings can be cooked directly in the air fryer without the need to thaw them first. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
To ensure that the chicken wings are cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to be safe to eat.
