Air Fryer Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wings

Air Fryer Crispy Buffalo Chicken Hot Wings is a quick and easy recipe that uses a marinade and dry rub to perfectly season the chicken. The best thing about making your own wings is you decide whether you prefer mild or spicy!

I’m no stranger to chicken wings. You will also love my Air Fryer Crispy Fried Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Southern Fried Chicken, Air Fryer Chicken Breasts, and Air Fryer Chicken Thighs recipes.

I just can’t get enough of my air fryer! Fried chicken has always been one of my favorite foods.

What Type of Chicken to Use

I love to use party wings that are already split as opposed to whole chicken wings. Party wings will cook at a more even temperature. Feel free to use whole chicken wings if you like.

How to Make Air Fryer Buffalo Wings

Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. I love to marinate chicken wings. This helps add flavor to the chicken and produces so much flavor. If you wish to marinate, drizzle the soy sauce over the chicken in a Ziploc bag.
2. Next, add the spices and shake. Remove all of the air from the bag and seal. Store in the fridge for at least an hour to overnight.
3. You can make these wings as spicy as you wish.
4. Cook the chicken to your desired level of crunch. Every air fryer is different. The same exact cooking time isn’t going to work for every brand.

How to Make Breaded Wings

You can use 1-2 tablespoons of baking powder or 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (enough to fully coat the chicken).

How to Reheat the Wings

The best way to reheat wings is on the grill or in the air fryer or oven. You can microwave if you wish. You can use the same cook temperature and reheat the wings until warm.

Freezer Tips

Leftover wings can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and follow the instructions above to reheat.

Can You Use Other Types of Chicken?

Absolutely! Chicken tenders, chicken breasts, or chicken thighs will work. Click the links to check out my other recipes for cook time.

Recipe Tips

• Consider marinating your chicken wings.
• You can make the chicken wings as spicy as you like or not spicy at all.
• Pay attention to the state of the chicken while cooking and determine how long it will need to cook.

How to Tell the Chicken Has Finished Cooking

Use a meat thermometer ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Ranch Dressing

I pair these with my Homemade ranch dressing. It can be really frustrating to search for a ranch dressing that is low-sugar. So why not make your own?

I combined a handful of ingredients, many of which I had on hand at home, and it turned out perfectly! I actually prefer this dressing to store-bought and I wish I had come up with this recipe sooner!
