Air Fryer Buffalo Wings

Air Fryer Buffalo Wings offer a crispy, flavorful snack or meal option by cooking seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer until golden and crisp, then tossing them in spicy buffalo sauce. This method uses minimal oil and achieves a tender interior with a crisp exterior. Wings are cooked in a single layer for even cooking and quick crisping. It’s suitable for parties or casual meals served immediately after preparation.

Description

This recipe uses about a pound of chicken wings seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Cooking in the air fryer at 400°F crisps the wings in about 20 minutes total, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. Once cooked, tossing them with buffalo sauce coats them in a classic spicy glaze.

The air fryer technique reduces oil use while maintaining a crispy texture and juicy inside. Proper spacing in the basket allows hot air circulation for crisping. When preparing larger batches, cooking in smaller batches preserves texture. Reheating is possible in the air fryer to restore crispness after initial cooking.

The wings are best served immediately, as the crispy exterior is most pronounced right after tossing with the buffalo sauce.
