Air-Fryer Cajun Dry-Rub Wings

A Cajun dry rub leaves the air-fried skin exposed and crisp. Oil is measured by teaspoons rather than cups, helping seasoning adhere without greasiness. Tossing once before cooking and once after gives the wings flavor inside every crack while keeping the final spice aromatic.
