How To Make Buffalo Oyster Crackers In Air Fryer

Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a bowl, mix melted butter, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix until well combined.

Coat the Oyster Crackers: Add the oyster crackers to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Air Fry the Crackers: Spread the coated oyster crackers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.

Cooking Time: Air fry the crackers for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The crackers are done when they are golden brown and crispy.

Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the crackers from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a tasty snack or crunchy topping for salads, soups, or dips.

• Adjust Spice Levels: Tailor the heat level by adding more or less buffalo sauce to the seasoning mixture, depending on your preference for spiciness.
• Toss Halfway Through: Shake or toss the crackers halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
