Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds whole chicken wings cut into flats and drumettes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

Prep the air fryer tray/basket. Spray the air fryer tray or basket or use parchment paper. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
Prep the wings. Place the chicken wings into a mixing bowl. Add the paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and baking powder, tossing to combine. Place in a single layer in the air fryer tray or basket.
Air Fry. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then bake for another 9-10 minutes or until crispy.
Toss in buffalo sauce. Add the buffalo sauce and the butter to a mixing bowl. Stir well. Toss the cooked chicken wings into the sauce then serve immediately.

Notes

Be sure your wings are nice and dry for the most even cooking and to get that crispy outside that everyone loves.

Season your wings well for the best flavor. If your wings are large, you may need to make a bit extra seasoning to cover them fully.

Let your wings rest for 5-8 minutes after cooking to let the juices reabsorb into the meat and for these wings to stay moist and flavorful.

Cook wings quickly. The high heat in this recipe minimizes the time the wings stay in the air fryer. That helps ensure your wings will be tender and fall-off-the-bone.
