- 2 pounds chicken wings split at the joint and tips removed, if using frozen, thaw beforehand

Place the butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and melt in two 30-second intervals if necessary. Whisk in the hot sauce.
Spray the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Preheat at 360°F for 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken wings dry and season generously with salt.

Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching.
Air fry for 12 minutes, then carefully flip the wings and fry for another 12 minutes. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 400°F and fry for 5 minutes, or until the outsides are crispy.
Toss the cooked wings in the Buffalo mixture to coat.
Ranch or blue cheese dressing, Carrot and celery sticks
Serve with a side of ranch and blue cheese dipping sauce and enjoy.
- For even more flavor, coat the chicken wings in your favorite seasoning blend before cooking.
- Use your favorite Buffalo sauce! For a little kick, add a few splashes of hot sauce into the butter/Buffalo sauce mixture.
- Chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 165°F. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to be sure.
