Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings

Steps

  1. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels. Dry skin is what makes them crisp.
  2. Toss the wings in a large bowl with the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper.
  3. Heat the air fryer to 400°F.
  4. Arrange the wings in the basket in a single layer with a little space between them. Cook in two batches if they don't fit.
  5. Air fry for the first half of the cooking time.
  6. Shake the basket or flip the wings with tongs, then air fry until the skin is crisp and golden and the meat reaches 165°F (74°C) near the bone.
  7. While the wings cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the hot sauce and honey (if using) and take it off the heat.
  8. Put the hot wings in a clean large bowl, pour the sauce over and toss until coated. Serve right away with the vegetables and dressing.
  9. Cook to 165°F inside (check with a thermometer).
