Ingredients

For The Wings

2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper

For The Buffalo Sauce

2 tablespoons coconut butter or oil melted, or any other oil
2 tablespoons honey
½ cup hot sauce of choice

Instructions

Place the 2 pounds chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and add the 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon ground pepper, and 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Seal the bag and mix/toss thoroughly to evenly coat the wings.
Air-fry the chicken wings in batches, at 400°F for 10 minutes. Make sure the wings have plenty of space and are not overlapping.
While the wings are cooking, make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine all of the buffalo sauce ingredients. (2 tablespoons coconut butter or oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and ½ cup hot sauce of choice)
Once the first batch of wings is done, transfer to the bowl with the buffalo sauce and stir or toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining batches of air fried chicken wings.
Repeat steps with remaining chicken; cooking in batches until all are cooked and coated in the sauce.
When all wings are cooked and coated, repeat the cooking process in the air-fryer, working in batches, and air fry at 400°F for an additional 5-6 minutes.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover wings in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze: Allow buffalo wings to come to room temperature, then place in a freezer-safe, airtight container or bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Reheat wings in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes, until hot and warmed through.
Tip: The wings are safe to consume, when using a meat thermometer registers to 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the wing.
