Perfectly crispy and seasoned buffalo chicken wings are just minutes away! Air-fried to golden perfection, these wings are tossed in your favorite buffalo sauce. Skip the mess of deep frying and enjoy restaurant-quality wings at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 whole chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (for extra crispiness)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (try one of our local buffalo sauces, available in store!)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and cut each wing into flats and drumettes, discarding the wing tips.
  2. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray if needed.
  4. Cook the Wings in Batches: Arrange as many wings as will comfortably fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each wing for proper airflow. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 20 minutes, flipping the wings every 5 minutes.
  5. Crisp the Wings: Increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 2 minutes for extra crispy skin. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Repeat for additional batches as needed.
  6. Toss and Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer and toss them in your favorite buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing, also available in-store.

Notes

Pro Tips for Perfect Wings

  • Dry the Wings: Pat the wings dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Batch Cooking: Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer and ensure even cooking.
  • Toss Regularly: Flip wings every 5 minutes to ensure even browning.
  • Keep Warm: Keep completed batches warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
