Crispy, spicy buffalo wings made in the air fryer for less mess and grease. Perfect for game days or casual dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or chopped green onions
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the wings are cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
- Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until completely coated.
- Plate the wings and garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
