How to Make Air Fryer Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chicken wings

Directions

Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a shallow bowl, mix together the sea salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Take each chicken wing and dredge it in the spice mixture until fully coated.
Place the wings into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook them in the air fryer for about 30 minutes, until the wings are no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear. You can check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer – it should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If your wings are smaller, you may need to reduce the cooking time.

Serve your Air Fryer Buffalo Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese. You can also add carrot and celery sticks on the side for a crunchy contrast. They are perfect for parties or just as a tasty snack during your favorite TV show!

How to Store Air Fryer Buffalo Wings

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), let the wings cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture.
