Ingredients
  

For the wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

For Serving

    Buffalo Ranch Sauce

    • ½ cup Buffalo sauce
    • ½ cup ranch dressing
    • Celery (cut into sticks)
    • carrot (cut into sticks )
    • Blue cheese or ranch dressing
    • Your choice of sides (e.g., fries, coleslaw)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat Your Air Fryer:
      Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
    • Dry the Chicken Wings
      Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly. This helps achieve crispy skin.
    • Season the Wings
      In a large mixing bowl, toss the dry chicken wings with salt, black pepper, and baking powder until the wings are evenly coated. The baking powder will help make the wings extra crispy.
    • Arrange in the Air Fryer
      Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd them to allow for proper air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
    • Cook the Wings
      Cook the wings in the preheated air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. This will ensure that they cook evenly and become golden brown and crispy.
    • Prepare the Buffalo Ranch Sauce
      While the wings are cooking, mix the Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing in a bowl to create the Buffalo Ranch Sauce. Adjust the ratio to your desired level of spiciness and creaminess.
    • Toss the Wings in Sauce
      Once the wings are done and crispy, transfer them to a clean mixing bowl.
    • Pour the prepared Buffalo Ranch Sauce over the hot wings and toss until the wings are fully coated in the sauce.
    • Serve Hot
      Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter
    • Serve the Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings immediately while they are hot and crispy. with other accompaniements

    Notes

    1. Be cautious with the amount of salt you use, as some store-bought Buffalo sauces and ranch dressings may already contain salt.
    2. Ensure that your chicken wings are dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness. If your air fryer has a smaller capacity, cook the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding.
    3. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
    4. You can customize the spiciness of the Buffalo Ranch Sauce by adjusting the ratio of Buffalo sauce to ranch dressing.
    5. Serve with your choice of sides and dipping sauces for a complete meal.
