Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Drescription

We like these wings Buffalo-style — here's how to use your air fryer like a pro to make them super crispy.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint and tips removed
  • kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as frank's redhot
  • ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving

Directions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.
  2. Meanwhile, warm the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce.
  3. Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.
