What You'll Learn
How to make buffalo wings in an air fryer
Yes, you can cook buffalo wings in an air fryer. Here's how:
First, season your wings with salt and pepper. Then, cook them in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes at 380°F. If you want your wings to be juicier, cook them for 22 minutes. If you want them crispier, cook them for 25 minutes.
While the wings are cooking, make your buffalo sauce. You can toss the wings in the sauce after they're cooked. Alternatively, you can toss them in the classic combo of Frank's RedHot® Original Hot Sauce and butter before serving.
For the juiciest, most well-coated wings, always toss them in the dressing after air frying. Wings should ideally be thawed before air frying. Frozen wings don’t air fry quite as well as fresh and they also take a lot longer.
Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping, and carrot and celery sticks on the side.
