I spent 3 years of my undergrad in Buffalo, New York. And Buffalo is THE HOME of the chicken wing. It’s true! And, having travelled all over, I can tell you that a TRUE chicken wing from Buffalo is the most legit chicken wing you will ever eat. So you could say I’m really, really, picky about my chicken wings. I grew tired of trying to find the best local restaurant for chicken wings. But I really like that crispy outside layer that I’ve grown accustomed to. And with this Air Fryer Chicken Wings recipe is all of that — and more!

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

What You’ll Need

This recipe is simple, which you know I like. My one (well, two!) recommendations would be the following:

Number one — use bone-in chicken wings. Chicken strips or tenders just do NOT have the same result. Number two — make sure you’re using a really good air fryer. My preference is between this one and this one.

Here’s what else you’ll need:

  • chicken wings, bone in (four pounds is the perfect amount)
  • Cavender’s Greek seasoning
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Worcestershire sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • white vinegar (1 tablespoon)
  • 1/2 -1 cup of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce (or other barbeque sauce of choice)

My suggestion would be to have chunky bleu cheese for dipping. Skip the ranch — the real deal is bleu cheese. And it’s worth the indulgence.

What’s your favorite type of chicken wing — Mild, Medium, Hot, BBQ, Garlic, or Teriyaki?!
