OMG, I am a believer. The Air Fryer is an amazing invention and I can’t stop finding reasons to try something new. Even my biggest food critic (16 yr old son) said these Air Fryer Chicken Wings were amazing.
A little background about the pressure of making Chicken Wings. My husband is from Buffalo, NY so my kids have become very picky wing eaters.
This week alone, I made Air Fryer Fried Chicken and Homemade Onion Rings.
How to Make the Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings, cut into drumettes and flats (about 15 pieces)
- Salt and Pepper (Optional)
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Chicken Wing sauce
- Air Fryer
How to Cut Chicken Wings into Drumettes and Flats
- Locate the two joints of the chicken wings by using your fingers.
- Use a pair of kitchen shears or a sharp knife to snip through the center of each joint,
- Use the Drumettes and flats or wingettes in your recipe.
What is Buffalo Sauce?
There is a difference between buffalo sauce and hot sauce, peppers, salt, and vinegar. This is used to make “Buffalo Sauce”
You can buy Jarred Buffalo sauces at the grocery store. Basically it is the addition of butter to hot sauce that creates a true Buffalo Sauce. We used a bottled version for these, but my husband who is from Buffalo, was not home or he would have made it from scratch.
How To Make Buffalo Sauce
This simple buffalo sauce recipe starts with a base of your favorite hot sauce. Make sure you check the heat index on the bottle!
Basically all you need to do is whisk 2 parts hot sauce to one part melted butter and then stir in your cooked wings.

What Do I Serve With Buffalo Chicken Wings
As Buffalo Wing purest I can only recommend serving these along with a bowl of Real Blue Cheese Dressing, carrots and celery. Of course, if you must try Ranch Dressing but I don’t want to know about it.
