Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 saucepan

Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and transfer to a mixing bowl. Combine baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking

  • Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • While the wings cook, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the hot sauce until smooth.
  • Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Serving

  • Serve the hot wings immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Storage

  • Place any leftover wings in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: Use ghee instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
How to Serve: Pair with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic experience.
Storage & Freshness: Best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
