Buffalo Wings are a classic and popular snack, especially for game day or for a casual get-together with friends. Here is a simple and quick recipe that you can make in an air fryer in 25 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are fully coated.
- Place the coated chicken wings in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping the wings once halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and stir to combine.
- Once the chicken wings are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them in a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
- Return the sauced wings to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and caramelized.
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and blue cheese dressing, if desired.
