Tyler Smith’s Air-Fryer Buffalo Wings

Yield 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 18 chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup hot sauce
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

  1. Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly coated.
  2. Place the wings in the air fryer (make sure they are spaced without touching) and cook at 375° for 10-15 minutes. Flip and repeat.
  3. When the wings are almost done, take one cup of hot sauce and microwave it, covered, for 1 minute on high. Cube the butter into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.
  4. Pour the hot sauce (get it?) into a mixing bowl and slowly add the cubed cold butter. Mix until almost fully blended. Add the hot wings to the bowl and mix them around until fully coated.
  5. Serve the wings on a plate with your favorite dipping sauce.
