@jackiehartlaub shares a recipe for extra crispy chili lime chicken wings, inspired by a dish her boyfriend used to love. The wings are cooked in an air fryer, then tossed with cotija cheese, chili powder, and more chili lime seasoning for a savory, spicy, and cheesy finish. They're served with a creamy avocado ranch for dipping.

Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, chili powder, and baking powder until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, with the thicker skin side facing down.
Cook at a lower temperature, around 375°F (190°C), for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings over.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the hot, crispy wings to a clean large bowl.
While the wings are still hot, add the grated cotija cheese, chili powder, chili lime seasoning, and melted butter.
Toss everything together until the wings are well-coated.
Serve immediately with avocado ranch dressing for dipping.
