Ingredients
Dry Rub Mixture
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tsp Herbs De Provence (or Italian Seasoning)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Sea Salt, optional or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Pepper or to taste
Buffalo Sauce Mixture
- 1/4 cup Butter (vegan or regular)
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce, plus more if desired
Instructions
- Clean and pat dry your chicken wings with a paper towel. Add the chicken to a large bowl and season with the dry rub mixture (and baking powder if using). Make sure all the wings are coated in the seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the chicken in a single layer into the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or place chicken on top of each other. Make sure there is space between each wing.
- Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. Then, flip the chicken and cook for another 7-10 minutes, until no longer pink and an instant thermometer reads 165°F. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches so that the wings are not overcrowded.
- While the wings are cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Then, add the buffalo sauce and mix well. Warm over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup into a small bowl to reserve for later.
- Transfer the chicken wings to a {clean} large bowl. Then, pour the remaining buffalo sauce onto the wings and mix until all the wings are coated.
- Place the chicken coated in buffalo sauce back into the air fryer and heat for 3 minutes at 350°F.
- Place the wings back into the bowl and top with the 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce that was set aside.
- Serve with celery and your favorite dipping sauce! Enjoy!
Notes
No Air Fryer? No Problem! You Can Make These Buffalo Wings In The Oven.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the wings with the dry rub mixture (add 1 tbsp baking powder for extra crispy wings).
- Place the seasoned wings on an oven-safe wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Then toss the wings in the buffalo sauce and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the wings are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Toss the wings in more buffalo sauce and enjoy!
