Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Ingredients
2 lb. chicken wings, drummettes and flats only
1 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt, such as Lawry’s
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
Buffalo sauce, sweet BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, and/or blue cheese dressing, for serving (if desired)
Directions
1 If the wing tips remain, trim them from the flat part of the wings and discard. Pat the wings all over with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2 Mix together the seasoned salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl. Add the wings and toss well to coat with the spice mixture.
3 Spray the basket of an air fryer well with nonstick cooking spray. Place one half of the wings in a single layer in the basket, with some space in between each wing. Cook at 370° for 10 minutes. Flip each of the wings and return them to the air fryer for another 10 minutes. Flip the wings once again, increase heat of the air fryer to 400° and cook for 8 to 10 more minutes until the skin is crispy. Repeat with the remaining chicken wings.
4 Serve the wings immediately out of the air fryer, or toss with Buffalo or BBQ sauce before serving alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing, if you like.
Pizza Dip
Ingredients
For the Dip:
1/2 c. mini pepperoni
2 8-oz. blocks cream cheese, softened

2 c. grated mozzarella, divided
1/4 c. sliced black olives, divided

1/4 c. diced red onion, divided
Toasted baguette, to serve
Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 375°.
2 Place the pepperoni on a paper towel lined plate. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Blot the tops of pepperoni with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Set aside.
3 Stir to combine the cream cheese, 1/2 cup parmesan, and Italian seasoning in a medium mixing bowl. Spread the mixture in an even layer in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
4 Add 1/2 cup marinara and spread evenly over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup parmesan, and 2 tablespoons each of pepperoni, black olives, bell pepper, and red onion. Repeat with the remaining marinara, mozzarella, parmesan, pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, and red onion.

6 Increase the oven to broil and bake 2 minutes more. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve with toasted baguette slices.
