Air Fryer, Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe

Why We Love Making Chicken Wings In The Vortex Air Fryer

Chicken wings are the best game-day food, and I love that there are so many varieties that you can make. I am partial to a classic chicken wing with tangy, spicy buffalo sauce. Making wings is one of the main reasons I even purchased an air fryer. And my two teenagers at home were thrilled!

This recipe features a classic buffalo sauce, and the air fryer will make these wings so crispy you will probably think they were fried! If you go to a restaurant to get wings, they are deep-fried. The good thing about this recipe is that air-fried wings are healthier since they aren’t sitting in a vat of oil while cooking.

Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings
  • Party Wings- You can get party wings in the grocery store’s meat section. They are usually a mixture of flats and drumettes.
  • Hot Sauce- You can use your favorite cayenne-based hot sauce. A popular one is Frank’s Redhot Hot Sauce.
  • Butter– Butter makes the sauce creamier.
  • Worcestershire Sauce– This adds a nice umami flavor to the buffalo sauce.
  • Tabasco– For added heat as needed.

Pro Tips

  • Don’t use frozen chicken wings in this recipe. If you have frozen chicken wings, let them thaw before air frying them to ensure maximum crispiness!
  • To make your wings crispy outside, dry them off with a paper towel before putting them into the air fryer.
  • Wings are generally hard to overcook since they are dark meat and have a higher fat content. So make sure you cook them as long as needed for crispy skin!
  • Line or grease the air fryer basket with parchment paper to ensure the wings don’t stick!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this recipe in a regular oven?

Yes, you can make delicious wings in a normal oven. It takes a significant amount of time in the oven for them to become crispy, though. For crispy wings, try baking them in the oven at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, flipping halfway through.

How do I store leftover wings?

Place the leftover wings in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-4 minutes or until heated. It is best to use the air fryer to reheat them to keep them crispy!

What to Serve with Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings

You can serve these buffalo chicken wings on their own, or to make a meal out of it add some Air Fryer Shoestring French Fries or Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries along with a Cucumber Salad, ranch, and some carrots and celery!
