AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Place wings in a large bowl. Drizzle oil over wings and massage until chicken is evenly coated.
• Place 1/2 the wings in the air fryer basket and cook for 25 minutes. Use tongs to flip wings and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining wings.
• While second batch is cooking, combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and keep warm until wings are done.

AIR-FRYER BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN

• Combine cornstarch and baking powder. Add to chicken in medium bowl; mix lightly.
• Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place half the chicken strips in single layer in prepared basket, gently shaking off any excess cornstarch mixture before placing chicken in basket. Cook 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is golden brown and done. Remove from air fryer. Repeat with remaining chicken strips.
• Return all chicken strips to air fryer; cook 3 min. to reheat. Transfer chicken strips to bowl. Add wing sauce; mix lightly. Serve with dressing.

HEALTHY AIR FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 380°F and lightly grease basket with cooking or avocado spray.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and then place a shallow bowl.
• Pour the buffalo sauce on top and use kitchen tongs to flip chicken breasts to ensure they are completely coated. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Once the air fryer is heated, evenly space out the chicken breast into the basket, breast side down (the smooth side).
• Air fry for 10 minutes, then with kitchen tongs and cook for another 4 - 6 minutes. I used medium 7-ounce chicken breasts and cooked for a total of 15 minutes. They will be done once the internal temp reaches 165°F and the outside is crisp. DO NOT overcook, it will be dry.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and enjoy with a side of your favorite grain and vegetable.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• If you prefer to preheat your air fryer, preheat it to 400 degrees.
• Coat the chicken tenders with your desired amount of salt and pepper. (I use about 1 tablespoon of kosher salt about 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.)
• Pour buffalo sauce in to a small, shallow dish.
• Pour panko crumbs in another shallow dish.
• Begin dipping each chicken tender in to buffalo sauce, then immediately in to panko crubms.
• Once fully coated, place each chicken tender in to air fryer basket. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do multiple batches.)
• Cook on 400 degrees for about 10 minutes if air fryer has been preheated and about 15 minutes if not preheated.... flipping half way thorugh cooktime.
• When cook time has completed, check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer, making sure it has reached 165 degrees.
• Serve with your favorite sauce! (See notes in blog post for dip ideas and side dish sugestions!)

AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, warm the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce.
• Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
• Set out three separate bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, add the panko breading.
• Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally, the panko.
• Place chicken in a single even layer in the basket of the air fryer. (Work in batches if your air fryer isn't large enough).
• Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and top with buffalo sauce. Gently toss to coat.
• OPTIONAL: Place the chicken back in the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes if you want them crispier.
• Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

• Arrange coated chicken strips in a single layer in an air fryer. Cook until evenly browned, about 8 minutes per side.

BUFFALO CHICKEN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Add everything but the egg roll wrappers to a large bowl and stir well to combine.
• Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into an egg roll wrapper. Fold in each side and then roll up tightly. Before making the last roll, dip your finger in water and brush it on the top corner of the egg roll and finish rolling to seal the egg rolls closed. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
• Lightly spritz the egg rolls on each side with oil spray.
• Place egg rolls in an air fryer basket in an even layer leaving space for air to flow between each egg roll. You will likely need to work in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
• Cook at 390 degrees for 7 minutes or until golden brown on the outside, flipping halfway through cooking.
• Serve hot.
