Why You’ll Love These
- Hot, freshly cooked buffalo chicken wings are extra crisp in the air fryer without added fat from deep frying.
- Less mess, less splatter, easy cleanup.
- Use your favorite version of hot sauce or even a mild buffalo sauce (yes!! Buffalo comes in mild too!)
- Healthier than the deep-fried version (and cooks faster than oven-baked wings) without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
CHICKEN WINGS: Look for split chicken wings (that have been separated into the drumstick and the flat wings). If your wings are whole, you’ll want to cut them by removing the wingtip and separating the drum and the flat part. You can find info on separating wings here.
A small amount of oil helps the seasoning to stick and ensures extra crispy skin.
BUFFALO SAUCE: You can purchase buffalo sauce (or mild buffalo sauce) at the grocery store or online. You can also make homemade buffalo sauce with just 2 ingredients. Swap out any sauce you’d like!

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Wings
- Always preheat the air fryer.
- Allow space between each wing so the hot air can circulate. If you overcrowd the air fryer the wings won’t crisp well.
- To make lots of wings, prepare in batches. Place all wings in the air fryer for about 2-3 minutes at 400°F to heat through before serving.
- Buffalo wings are delicious cold, but reheat them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to restore that crispy exterior.
