🧾Ingredients used

🥫 Storing and Reheating

Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container for 3-4 days. I like to enjoy freshly baked chicken wings in the oven, but they can also be reheated quickly in the air fryer.

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees and bake for 3-5 minutes until fully reheated.

💭 Tips and variations

Add a dash of my super spicy piri piri sauce to make this recipe even spicier.
Heating time may vary depending on the size of chicken wings. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you don’t want to turn on the oven, make buffalo chicken wings in an air fryer instead. Just shake the basket a few times for crispy chicken wings.
The chicken wings are baked uncovered in the oven and the skin is crispy.
Place the cooked chicken wings on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Most chicken wings are usually pretty unhealthy, but these spicy wings are a great meat option for those who eat keto or low-carb. Plus, it’s baked instead of fried. This makes it low in fat and calories. This makes this a great recipe for wing fans looking to eat a little healthier.

Which is better, fried or grilled chicken wings?

There are pros and cons to cooking chicken wings, but I prefer grilling. This process gives the skin so much flavor and a nice crispy crust.The marinade has a chance to melt into every bite. Plus, you don’t have to worry about messy deep fryers like you do when making fried chicken wings.

Should the wings be covered when grilling?

Do not cover the spicy chicken wings. Covering the feathers traps moisture and makes the skin sticky. To get a crispy crust every time, you’ll need a hot oven and uncovered chicken wings.Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes and enjoy!
