Buffalo Air fried Wings

 Buffalo Air Fried  Wings

This Buffalo air fried  wing recipe is prefect when your craving chicken wings but want healthy too!!

We’ve been on a chicken wing kick lately. It all started on my wedding anniversary.  When our conversion turned  to the first night we met at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo  New York , where the famous Buffalo chicken wing originated.

And in our first hole in the wall eatery the lines were out the door for  the copycat version of the original Anchor Bar chicken wing.

No wonder Buffalo chicken wings have a special place  in my heart and kitchen. It’s an extra bonus that  chicken wings are a family favorite.

Even with my love for the original deep fried Buffalo Chicken wings, my direction at this age is to take the classics and make them healthier if possible. This Buffalo chicken wing recipe was an easy one to make a little heathier  using my air fry

What I used for these Buffalo air fried wings

The original Anchor bar recipe for Buffalo chicken wings calls for deep frying the wings. You can use the deep frying method if it fits your lifestyle and taste. If your going the healthier route then air fried is the way to go.

The most important ingredient in the original Buffalo chicken wing recipe and in this air fried version is the Frank’s Hot sauce.

I used both sections of the  chicken wing cutting off the tip. Feel free to use the whole wing  without cutting them if that’s your preference.

Please watch the video and please don’t forget to leave  me a comment here and tag me on Instagram with your creations. I love hearing from you it’s my favorite part!!!
