Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat 1 lb chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp salt.
- (Optional) Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the wings skin-side up in a single layer without overlapping; stand some on their sides if needed to fit.
- Air fry at 375°F for 15 minutes.
- Flip the wings and air fry again at 375°F for 10 minutes.
- Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F, flip the wings a final time, and air fry for 8–10 minutes at 400°F until the wings are golden brown.
- Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thickest wing; it must read 165°F. If not yet 165°F, continue cooking in 3-minute increments at 400°F until the temperature is reached.
- Choose and make one sauce (whisk the listed ingredients in a bowl): - Buffalo sauce: whisk 1 tbsp buffalo sauce with 1 tbsp butter, melted. - Teriyaki sauce: whisk 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce (or 1 tbsp soy sauce as substitute) with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp water. (Optional: sprinkle 1/2 tsp sesame seeds as a garnish.) - Honey BBQ: whisk 1 tbsp BBQ sauce with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp water.
- Toss the cooked wings in the chosen sauce until evenly coated. (Wings may also be served “dry” without sauce.)
- Serve the wings with a drizzle of any extra sauce, 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (or ranch, as a substitute) on the side, 1 carrot sliced into sticks, 1 celery sliced into sticks, and sprinkle 1 tsp fresh chopped cilantro on top.

NOTES
Plan for about ½ LB of chicken wings per person.
Want to air fry 2 lbs of chicken wings or more?
Air fry the wings in a large air fryer basket and finish at 400°F either all standing up so they are barely touching (not overlapping), or finish them in batches so they can lay flat in the basket and bask in the hot heat.
Store leftover wings in the fridge (coated in sauce) for up to 3 days. Reheat wings in the air fryer for about 5-10 minutes at 400°F until cooked throughout.
