Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Recipes

HEALTHY AIR FRIED BUFFALO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 380°F and lightly grease basket with cooking or avocado spray.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and then place a shallow bowl.
• Pour the buffalo sauce on top and use kitchen tongs to flip chicken breasts to ensure they are completely coated. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Once the air fryer is heated, evenly space out the chicken breast into the basket, breast side down (the smooth side).
• Air fry for 10 minutes, then with kitchen tongs and cook for another 4 - 6 minutes. I used medium 7-ounce chicken breasts and cooked for a total of 15 minutes. They will be done once the internal temp reaches 165°F and the outside is crisp. DO NOT overcook, it will be dry.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and enjoy with a side of your favorite grain and vegetable.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Place wings in a large bowl. Drizzle oil over wings and massage until chicken is evenly coated.
• Place 1/2 the wings in the air fryer basket and cook for 25 minutes. Use tongs to flip wings and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining wings.
• While second batch is cooking, combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and keep warm until wings are done.
• Pour sauce over cooked wings and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
• Set out three separate bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, add the panko breading.
• Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally, the panko.
• Place chicken in a single even layer in the basket of the air fryer. (Work in batches if your air fryer isn't large enough).
• Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and top with buffalo sauce. Gently toss to coat.
• OPTIONAL: Place the chicken back in the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes if you want them crispier.
• Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
