Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds cut chicken wings (see Note 1)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon neutral oil (plus more for greasing)

Buffalo wing sauce:

½ cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey

For serving:

2 scallions (trimmed and minced)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken:

Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Add the neutral oil. Toss to coat.

Air fry the chicken:

Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil. Arrange the chicken wings in an even layer. Air fry for 15 minutes.
Flip the chicken wings and air fry for 13 to 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken wings have reached 165ºF.

Make the Buffalo wing sauce:

Heat ½ cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it bubbles, add the butter and honey. Bring to a boil and whisk until smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the flavors to your preference. Remove from heat and pour the sauce into a large bowl.

Sauce the wings:

Once the wings finish air frying, transfer them to the bowl of Buffalo sauce and toss to coat.

To serve:

Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle freshly minced scallions on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: You can buy a pack of cut chicken wings or purchase whole wings and cut them yourself. Reserve the tips for broth or stock. Two pounds of cut chicken wings yields 10 to 12 drumettes and flats, so you’ll need 5 to 6 whole wings for this recipe.
