🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 2 lbs chicken wings (party wings, separated)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Franks RedHot sauce
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Serving
  • blue cheese dressing (for serving)
  • celery sticks (for serving)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels — this is the most important step. Shared 💡 Every bit of moisture you remove equals more crispiness you add.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated. Shared 💡 Baking powder raises the skin pH, accelerating browning and crisping. Do not use baking soda.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F for 3 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 High heat from the start is key for crispy wings.
  4. Place wings in the pan in a single layer, skin-side up. Air Fry at 400°F for 12 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Do not overcrowd — two batches of perfectly crispy wings beats one batch of soggy ones.
  5. Flip wings. Air Fry at 400°F for another 12 minutes until skin is deep golden and crispy. Lower Oven 💡 Wings should audibly crunch when you tap them with tongs.
  6. While wings cook, whisk hot sauce, melted butter, and Worcestershire in a large bowl. Shared 💡 Adjust heat: more butter equals milder, more hot sauce equals spicier.
  7. Transfer hot wings directly from the pan into the sauce bowl. Toss vigorously to coat. Shared 💡 Tossing while piping hot helps the sauce cling to every crevice.
  8. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Shared 💡 Traditional buffalo wings are served with blue cheese — not ranch — in Buffalo, NY!
💡 Ninja Tips

The baking powder trick is essential for crispy skin without deep frying. Do not salt heavily before cooking — the sauce adds plenty. For extra-crispy, refrigerate wings uncovered on a wire rack for 4 hours before cooking.

Scaling: To double: cook in multiple batches. To halve: use 1 lb wings, halve sauce amounts.
