Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
This Air Fryer Buffalo Wings recipe uses flats and drumettes seasoned with a simple mix of salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Air Fried until extra crispy and then tossed in buffalo sauce.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 ½ pounds chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- Celery sticks for serving
- Ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. When heated, spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken wings dry. Then transfer them to a large bowl. Toss the wings with smoked paprika, garlic powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer skin side down so they are not touching. Cook for 10 minutes. Then flip the wings, increase the temperature to 400°F, and continue cooking until the wings are crisp and golden, about 10-13 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe large bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the hot sauce and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt to combine. Set aside.
- When the chicken wings are done cooking, toss them with the buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch dressing, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, air fry at 350°F for 4–5 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it makes them soggy.
