If you LOVE WINGS, You need to try these HONEY BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS!
Equipment
1 Air Fryer or
Oven **Oven Bake at 400 for 45 min to 1 hour depending on wing size, Flip after 25-30 minutes once browned* or
Pan ** Deep fry wings at 350 for 8-12 minutes. I used my pan that had a lot of space for the wings so mine were cooked at the 8 minute mark. Try not to crowd the pan if possible and cook in small batches to give the wings space to cook evenly*

Instructions
For the Chicken Wings
- Cut the wings into Drums and Flats if they aren't separated yet.1.5 lbs Chicken wings (approx. 12 wings)
- Dry the wings very well with a paper towel, this will ensure a crispy wing.
- Combine the dry ingredients (**If Air Frying or Oven baking, we will use baking powder, not baking soda- orange box) If you will deep fry, you can leave out the baking powder.1.5 lbs Chicken wings (approx. 12 wings), ½ tablespoon Baking powder Aluminum free (Not baking soda- orange box), 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt, 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon Black pepper, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder, ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika, ½ tablespoon Potato Starch (sub corn starch)
Air Fryer Cooking Instructions
- Preheat Air fryer to 400 degrees. Add in the chicken wings and cook for 20 minutes and flip halfway. *Try to avoid over crowding because this can prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and crisping up.*
- After flipping the wings at 10 minutes, start to prepare the sauce
- Some air fryers may need 15 minutes, some may need the full 20 or even 25 mins. *My Crux Marshmello is done in about 15-18 mins, and the Crux 6-1 takes 20-25 mins*
Oven Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Place your wings onto a baking rack for best results. Bake at 400F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your wing size. Flip at the 25-30 minute mark once it has browned.
Deep Frying Instructions
- Deep fry wings at 350 for 8-12 minutes. I used my pan that had a lot of space for the wings so mine were cooked at the 8 minute mark. Try not to crowd the pan if possible and cook in small batches to give the wings space to cook evenly*
For the Honey Buffalo sauce
- Heat a pan to medium and add butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add in hot sauce, seasonings and honey. Simmer 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Toss the chicken wings with honey buffalo sauce in a bowl
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Dry your wings very well before seasoning to ensure a crispy wing!
- Be sure to use baking powder that is aluminum free and not baking soda (orange box)
- Cooking the chicken on a wire rack inside the air fryer will result in a crispier chicken wing. The wire rack promotes air circulation and helps the juice drip away from the chicken.
