Steps

1
Pat wings completely dry. Toss with baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2
Arrange in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 380°F for 12 minutes.
3
Flip wings. Increase to 400°F and cook 12-15 more minutes until skin is deeply golden and crispy.
4
Mix hot sauce, melted butter, vinegar, and garlic powder. Toss hot wings in the buffalo sauce.
5
Serve with blue cheese or ranch, celery, and carrot sticks.

💡

Tip: Baking powder is the secret to crispy skin without deep frying — it raises the pH and draws out moisture. Make sure wings are bone-dry before coating.
