Ingredients

2-3 pounds chicken wings and drumettes
1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
Granulated garlic use enough for a light coating
Black pepper use enough for a light coating
Buffalo wing sauce your favorite brand or make your own

Instructions

Preheat Airfryer to 400°.
Pat wings dry with a paper towel.
Put the wings into a bowl and drizzle olive oil over wings just so they are lightly covered.
Sprinkle on garlic and pepper just until every piece is lightly covered.
Toss in a few Tablespoons of buffalo sauce, again you are looking for a light coating.
Line wings in your Airfryer according to your manufacturer directions.
Air-fry for 20-22 minutes. In my airfryer I like to rotate the trays halfway through. If you have a bucket no need for this.
Take them out and put into a bowl and toss in another layer of buffalo sauce. They will not be crispy yet. But will be mostly cooked through.
Put them back in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
Again, I rotate my trays at 6 minutes on this step.
Pull them out and serve dry or toss in more wing sauce!

Notes

- My Airfryer can fit 24-26 wingettes and drumettes at a time. So adjust amounts for your own Airfryer.- I have found fresh chicken best. The frozen bag kind seem to be to large and meaty.

-This will serve about 5 for dinner or about 10 as appetizers.
