Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1.5 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Oil spray
  • Buffalo Sauce
  • ½ cup Frank’s RedHot
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp honey

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels—removing excess moisture helps them get extra crispy.
  • In a large bowl, toss the wings with onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper, salt, and baking powder until evenly coated.
  • Optional: For even crispier skin, place the seasoned wings in the fridge for 30 minutes to dry out.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange wings in a single layer and air fry at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic powder, honey, and Frank’s RedHot until smooth and well combined.
  • Toss the crispy wings in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  • Plate the wings and enjoy immediately!
