Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Don't over fill air fryer basket with wings- Depending on how big your air fryer basket you will probably have to cook in batches. You want to leave enough space between each wings. Like 1/2-1 inch of space.
- Don't skip on using the flour- the starch from the tapioca flour is what makes these wings nice and crispy.
- Substitute for tapioca flour- arrowroot flour works just as well while keeping the wings gluten-free.
- Substitute for avocado oil- unrefined coconut oil is great too. Olive oil can be used as well.
- No air fryer? No problem- you can use a traditional oven and bake these wings instead if you don't have an air fryer. Preheat oven at 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay prepped wings on prepped sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes. Flipping half way through baking.
