When I first started cooking with an Airfryer years ago, I mainly used it to reheat frozen food. It was fast and efficient, and I actually started preferring it over my oven. But when I discovered I could use it to cook chicken from scratch, it became my favorite kitchen appliance of all time.
So far, chicken wings are my favorite meal to make in the air fryer. They’re simple, quick, and delicious — and best of all, cleanup is a breeze since there are very few plates involved in this recipe.
While you can make any flavor of wings in the air fryer, my favorites are these simple buffalo chicken wings. Read on to learn how to make them yourself.
Ingredients for buffalo chicken wings from the airfryer:
- 1 package chicken wings (about 15 wings)
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Hot Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper
How to make 25 minute air fryer chicken wings:
Step 1: Pat the chicken wings dry, place them in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 2: Mix the herbs, sprinkle over the wings and mix well.
The four herbs you need for chicken wings in the air fryer.
Step 3: Place the wings in a single layer in the airfryer and bake for 10 minutes at 200 degrees. Turn them over and bake for another 10 minutes.
Don’t stack the chicken wings in the air fryer. Instead, make sure they are all in one layer.
Step 4: While the wings are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Add Frank’s RedHot Hot Sauce (or other hot sauce of your choice) and bring to a simmer over low heat.
If you prefer to use a buffalo sauce instead of the traditional hot sauce, you don’t need to add butter to this recipe.
Step 5: When the wings are cooked through and have an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees, place them in a clean mixing bowl and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over them.
These air fryer chicken wings are quick and easy to prepare, making them ideal for a weekday meal.
Step 6: Toss the wings until completely coated and serve warm.
Serve this dish with carrots, celery and your favorite dipping sauce.
