Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Chicken drumettes and wings
  • cup of spicy brown mustard
  • 3 tablespoons of ranch seasoning divided
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoons of mustard powder

Instructions

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Add the chicken wings and drumettes to a large mixing bowl. Add the mustard, one tablespoon of ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Thoroughly mix the chicken and ingredients until the chicken is coated. 
  • Combine flour, cornstarch, two tablespoons of ranch seasoning, paprika, chili powder, and mustard powder in a shallow bowl and mix well. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat each piece.
  • Place the coated chicken onto a parchment lined baking sheet and let rest for 30 minutes. This will allow the flour time to soak into the chicken which prevents the dreaded dry/powdery look on the breading. This happens when you have a lack of oil when air frying and is a common issue with air fryers.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees then add the chicken to the basket in a single layer (multiple batches may be necessary).
  • Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, then flip each piece. Spray lightly again with the nonstick cooking spray and cook another 10 minutes. The chicken will need to reach a temperature of 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
