Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This ensures the wings start cooking immediately for a crispy texture.
Season the wings by tossing them in a large bowl with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, salt, and pepper until fully coated.

Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow even cooking. If needed, cook in batches.

Cook for 15-17 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
