Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional for richer flavor)
- Celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy texture. Add baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are well coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Cook the Wings: Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Add Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with melted butter (if using). Toss the cooked wings in the sauce until well coated.
- Serve: Plate the wings and serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
