Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken wings, separated if necessary
- 1/2 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 carrots, cut into sticks
- 1 stalk celery, cut into sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F. Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a large bowl. Add wings and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Add half of the wings to the air-fryer basket; cook for 15 minutes. Turn the wings; continue to cook until they're crispy and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F, about 5 minutes. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining wings.
- Cook hot sauce and butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often, until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Add the butter sauce and toss to coat. Serve alongside ranch dressing, carrots and celery.
