- 2 pounds chicken wings, split
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Blue cheese dressing, for serving
- Celery sticks, for serving
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy.
- In a bowl, toss the wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You might need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings cook, whisk together the melted butter, hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a bowl.
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can toss them with a tablespoon of cornstarch before seasoning.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
- You can also brush the wings with the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for a more caramelized coating.
