Notes
***If you use less or more than 2 pounds of chicken wings, the cook time remains the same.
Mild Buffalo Sauce
-
Use 8-ounces Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, 8 tablespoons butter, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
-
Use 12-ounces Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, 6 tablespoons butter, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
-
Use 14-ounces Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, 4 tablespoons butter, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or cayenne pepper).
-
Pat your wings dry with paper towels before adding them to the air fryer. This helps get them extra crisp.
-
Spray the Air Fryer basket with olive oil spray before adding the chicken. It helps prevent sticking and the tiny bit of oil makes the wings extra crisp.
-
There’s no need to preheat your Air Fryer. Just turn it on and go!
-
It helps to cook your wings in a single layer if you have room. If not, you can work in batches. You can also overlap the wings, they just won’t be as crispy.
-
Start the wings at a lower temperature and then increase the temperature for the last 5-15 minutes to get them extra crispy. The total time will vary depending on how big your wings are.
-
Shake the basket throughout the cooking process to help the chicken wings brown more evenly.
- Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil and cook at 400-degrees for 5-10 minutes, until heated through and crispy.
