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.
