Air-fried Buffalo wings are a favorite appetizer, but without all the guilt or trouble that comes with deep-frying. They are tasty, tangy and tempting! This recipe only has three ingredients so they couldn't be easier. I like to use fresh whole chicken wings because they are meatier than the already sectioned chicken wings that you find in the freezer section of the store.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup hot sauce like Crystal or Frank’s
- salt to taste
- Finishing Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup hot sauce like Crystal or Frank’s
Instructions
-
Prepare the chicken wings by cutting off the wing tips and discarding (or freezing for chicken stock). Then, divide the drumettes from the wingettes or paddles and place both in a bowl or zipper sealable bag.
-
Combine the melted butter and the hot sauce and stir to blend well.
-
Pour this over the chicken wings and let the wings marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
-
Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF for 3 minutes.
-
Air-fry the wings for 12 minutes, shaking half way through cooking. When both batches are done, toss them all back into the basket for another 2 minutes to heat through and finish cooking.
-
While the wings are air-frying, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and ¼ cup of hot sauce.
-
Remove the wings from the air fryer and toss them again in this sauce and serve with some cooling blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
