Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) chicken wings split into flats and drummettes
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 recipe buffalo wing sauce

For the Buffalo wing sauce

  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, drizzle the chicken wings with oil and season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Place the chicken wings in the Air Fryer basket (do not overcrowd, work in batches if needed).
  • Air fry for 20-25 minutes shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the buffalo sauce by combining the hot sauce with melted butter and honey.
  • When the chicken wings are brown and crispy, remove from the Air Fryer basket and toss in buffalo sauce to coat evenly.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.

Notes

  • These chicken wings can be made from frozen, but they won't be super crispy and you'll have to add 5-7 minutes to the total cooking time. Or just thaw before cooking so you'll have the opportunity to pat dry the wings before air frying.
  • If using super large chicken wings, you might need to cook them for longer. Just keep an eye on the wings and cook until they're crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken must be at least 165°F/74°C.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the Air Fryer basket, work in batches.
  • Store the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
