What You'll Learn
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F/193°C
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F/193°C. This is the ideal temperature for cooking buffalo wings, as it will ensure they are cooked through and crispy.
If you are using a different model of air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time. For example, if your air fryer cooks at a higher temperature, you might need to reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, you can prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. You can also melt butter and stir in some buffalo sauce to create a richer coating for the wings.
Once the air fryer has reached the desired temperature, you can season the wings with salt and pepper and place them in the basket, making sure they are top-side down.
