Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 basting brush
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 cooking thermometer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce store-bought or homemade
  • fresh parsley optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat each wing evenly with the seasoning.
  • Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure there’s some space between each wing for optimal circulation.
  • Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
  • While the wings are cooking, heat the Buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Once the wings are done, carefully transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the heated Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  • For extra crispiness, you can double the cooking time and cook the wings in batches if your air fryer has a smaller capacity.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce based on your spice preference.
  • These wings pair wonderfully with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
