Buffalo wings cooked in the air fryer instead of deep oil. Baking powder helps crisp the skin.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 5 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels:

2 pounds (900 g) whole chicken wings cut at joints into drumettes and flats (see notes)

In a large bowl, toss the wings until evenly coated with:

2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder

2 teaspoons kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or the same weight

Place the wings into the air fryer basket in a single layer, fatty side down. Leave a slight space between each wing. Place the basket in the preheated air fryer. Air-fry until the wings are cooked through, crisp, and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through cooking.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together:

1/4 cup (50 g) unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup (60 ml) Frank's Red Hot Sauce or other Louisiana-style hot sauce

Transfer the wings to the bowl with the prepared sauce and toss until thoroughly coated. Serve the wings immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks:

Blue cheese dip, for serving

Celery sticks, for serving
