Air Fryer Oven Recipes: Buffalo Hot Wings

If you're craving a classic snack that packs a punch, look no further than these buffalo hot wings, perfectly crafted in your air fryer oven. The beauty of this method lies in achieving that beloved crispy exterior without the excess oil typically required for frying.

Begin by marinating chicken wings in a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a generous dash of salt and pepper for a rich depth of flavour. For an added kick, incorporate a splash of your favourite hot sauce into the marinade. Once the wings have absorbed all the deliciousness, preheat your air fryer oven to around 200°C (or 400°F).

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the air fryer rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which is key to achieving that perfect crispiness. Cook for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking. As the wings sizzle, prepare a tangy buffalo sauce by combining melted butter with more hot sauce, adjusting the heat to your preference.

Once the wings are golden and crispy, toss them in your homemade sauce, ensuring each piece is coated in that fiery flavour. Serve with a side of cooling blue cheese dip and crunchy celery sticks for the ultimate indulgence. Whether for a game night or a casual gathering, these air-fried buffalo hot wings are bound to be a hit!
