Pat your wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket—don’t overcrowd them. Cook for 20–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

While the wings cook, whisk together maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the balance—add more mustard for tang or more maple for sweetness.

Once the wings are perfectly crisp, transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the maple mustard glaze over the top and toss until each wing is luxuriously coated. Serve immediately while they’re sticky and sizzling hot.
