Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure they get crispy when air frying.
- 2
Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and baking powder. Mix well until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- 4
Arrange the Wings
Place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.
- 5
Air Fry the Wings
Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are crispy on all sides.
- 6
Prepare the Sauce (optional)
While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce and stir until well combined. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Serving

Serve the Wings
Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve hot. If using the buffalo sauce, toss the wings in the sauce before serving. Enjoy!
