Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the 3 pounds of chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the wings with 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper; toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding; work in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to turn the wings and promote even crisping.
- While the wings cook, make the buffalo wing sauce: combine ½ cup (113 g) melted unsalted butter, ½ cup (120 ml) Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey in a bowl and whisk until smooth (this makes 1 recipe buffalo wing sauce).
- When the wings are brown, crispy, and cooked through, transfer them to a clean large bowl, pour the buffalo wing sauce over the wings, and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve the wings immediately.

Notes
These chicken wings can be made from frozen, but they won’t be super crispy and you’ll have to add 5-7 minutes to the total cooking time. Or just thaw before cooking so you’ll have the opportunity to pat dry the wings before air frying.
If using super large chicken wings, you might need to cook them for longer. Just keep an eye on the wings and cook until they’re crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken must be at least 165°F/74°C.
Make sure not to overcrowd the Air Fryer basket, work in batches.
Store the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
