1. Air Fryer Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Place the wings in a large bowl. Add the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Cook in batches when necessary.
Air fry for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned, crisp, and cooked through.
Confirm that the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165°F without touching the bone.
While the wings cook, warm the hot sauce, butter, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
Transfer the cooked wings to a clean bowl.
Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Serve immediately with celery and your preferred dipping sauce.
2. Oven Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and lightly grease the rack.
Pat the wings thoroughly dry.
Toss the wings with the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the wings on the rack in one layer.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Confirm that the chicken reaches at least 165°F internally.
Prepare the buffalo sauce by warming the hot sauce, butter, and garlic powder over low heat.
Toss the cooked wings with the sauce and serve immediately.
