Making Classic Hot Wings has never been easier, thanks to the use of an air fryer. There is less fat and less mess and a whole lot of good eats.
If you have stayed away from cooking wings at home because it seems like too much trouble, then this recipe is definitely for you.
I get it. Who wants to fill up a pan full of oil, worry about getting the right temperature, then frying a bunch of chicken wings? Nobody. That’s who.
This easy recipe for Classic Hot Wings from The “I Love My Air Fryer” Gluten-Free Recipe Book: From Lemon Blueberry Muffins to Mediterranean Short Ribs, 175 Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes (“I Love My” Series)by Michelle Fagone 
is a game-changer. Which, coincidently, makes cooking wings for the big game a winner.
There are basically two steps: 1. Fry the wings. 2. Toss the wings in sauce. Simple enough, right? Don’t take my word for it – try them yourself with the recipe below.
Classic Hot Wings In an Air Fryer
If you use your air fryer for only one food, make it chicken wings! The convection heat cooks that chicken skin on all sides, making each bite equally crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Ingredients

- 2 pounds chicken wings split at the joint
- 1 Tablespoon butter room temperature
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat air fryer at 250 degrees for 3 minutes.
-
Place water in bottom of air fryer to ensure minimum smoke from fat drippings.
-
Place half of chicken wings in air fryer basked lightly greased with preferred cooking oil. Flipwings, then cook an additional 6 minutes.
-
While wings are cooking, combine butter and wing sauce in a
large bowl. -
Increase temperature on air fryer to 400 degrees. Flip wings and cook 5 minutes. Flip once more and cook an additional 5 minutes.
-
Once done, transfer to bowl with sauce and toss. Set aside.
-
Repeat process with remaining wings. Serve warm.
