Description
Crispy air fryer chicken wings tossed in sweet, smoky copycat Buc-ee's BBQ sauce. An easy game-day appetizer ready in about 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup Copycat Buc-ee's BBQ Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter, optional
Instructions
- Pat the wings very dry with paper towels.
- Toss the wings with oil. Mix the baking powder and spices, sprinkle over the wings, and toss to coat.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Air fry at 380°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Raise the heat to 400°F and air fry 5 to 7 minutes more, until crisp and at least 165°F inside.
- Warm the BBQ sauce with the butter, if using.
- Toss the wings in the warm sauce, return to the basket, and air fry at 400°F for 1 to 2 minutes to set the glaze.
- Serve hot with extra sauce for dipping.
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
Notes
- Cook times are for a 5- to 6-quart basket air fryer; oven-style models may need a few minutes more.
- Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. Reheat at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes.
