Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning two pounds of chicken wings with salt and pepper, then air frying them in a single layer. Initial cooking at 380°F crisps the wings evenly, followed by flipping for even cooking. The temperature increases to 400°F for a final crisping phase. This stepwise temperature approach enhances a crispy skin texture without traditional frying.
While the wings finish cooking, a buffalo sauce is prepared by whisking hot sauce with melted unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Tossing the hot wings in this sauce ensures they are well-coated with a tangy, spicy flavor profile that complements the savory chicken.
These wings are ready to serve immediately, paired optionally with a dipping sauce. The air fryer method reduces oil use while still achieving a satisfying crispy and juicy texture, making it a convenient technique for buffalo wings at home.
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 1/2 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper ground

- While the chicken is finishing cooking, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
