Air Fryer Spicy Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings

By

If you are like me every once in a while you get a craving for some spicy, crispy chicken wings.  Before I figured out how to make these wings at home my only option was to go out and find a place that makes them how I like.  I use an air fryer to get that super crispy skin that can stand up to a nice thick sauce and not get soggy.  

 
In the Buffalo sauce the honey does a nice job of masking the spiciness at first but after a couple bites the heat really starts to come out.


Spicy Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings

Honey Buffalo Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1C       Franks Red Hot (Original not the Buffalo Sauce)
  • 2T       Honey
  • 1T       Butter
  • 1t        Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2t     Dried Ground Chipotle Powder
  • 1/2t     Chili de Arbol Powder (you can use 1t of Cayenne pepper instead)
  • 1/2t     Garlic Powder

Directions:

  1. In small saucepan combine all ingredients over medium heat stirring occasionally.
  2. Once all ingredients have combined and butter has melted reduce heat and allow to simmer until sauce starts to thicken.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside.
This can be made in the microwave too it just won’t thicken.
If you don’t want it as spicy eliminate the chili de arbol and half the amount of chili flakes.

Chicken Wings / Overall Instructions

Ingredients:

  • Buffalo sauce (above)
  • Chicken Wings (10-15, Skin on)
  • 1/2t   Seasoned Salt
  • 1/4t   Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1T     Peanut oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400.
  2. In a bowl add the chicken wings and top with seasoned salt, pepper, and peanut oil.  Toss to evenly coat.
  3. When air fryer is preheated, place coated chicken wings in basket of air fryer spreading them out so they don’t touch.
  4. Cook in air fryer for 25 minutes, turning them over halfway through. (25min is just a guideline, the more important part is that the wings are fully cooked to an internal temp of 185.)
  5. Remove from fryer basket and place wings in a bowl, cover wings with the prepared buffalo sauce and toss to evenly coat.
These wings could be made in the oven as well however the skin won’t get as crispy and they will take longer to cook.
