Ingredients:

  • 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg) chicken wings, separated at the joints, wing tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (120 ml) hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl to ensure even coating.
  2. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 12 minutes.
  3. Flip the wings and cook for another 10-13 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  4. While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until smooth and heated through.
  5. Transfer the cooked wings to a clean bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve the airfryer wings immediately with your favourite dipping sauce and sides.
