Air Fryer
CHICKEN WINGS
Ingredients
2 lbs. Chicken wings, sectioned in two
1/4 lb. Butter, cut in chunks
1/2 c. Frank's Hot Sauce
1 tbsp. Brown mustard
1 tbsp. Ketchup
1 tsp. Lemon juice
1 c. Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. Celery seed
1 tsp. Smoked paprika
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tsp. Onion powder
48 oz. Vegetable oil
3 tbsp. Bacon fat
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Directions
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• In a large covered container, whisk together the flour, garlic and onion powders, and a healthy dash each of salt and pepper.
• Place the wings in the flour mixture, cover and shake to coat the wings evenly.
• Preheat air fryer to 400F for 2-3 minutes.
• Arrange wings on fryer basket (over drip pan), with space in between them (not touching). Fry wings in small batches so that they are not crowded.
• Place wings in the air fryer, and cook 8 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Flip the wings with tongs, and cook another 6-8 minutes.
• Carefully remove wings with tongs and place on the papered cookie sheet, and proceed to fry the additional wings as above.
• In a 1-2 quart sauce pan, melt the butter.
• Add the Frank's, mustard, ketchup and lemon juice and whisk to combine.
• Then add the celery seed, paprika, a pinch of salt, and whisk again.
• Place the cooked wings (again in smaller batches) in a large bowl.
• Pour some sauce over the wings and agitate until the wings are well coated. Repeat until all wings are... sauced.
• Serve with celery and carrot sticks, and bleu cheese dressing.
Hey, I'm from Buffalo, so I had to give a wing recipe, right? So what's the difference, what makes these wings Southern, Buffalo Boy? Simple: flavor. Most joints worthy of serving wings use pretty much the standard hot sauce with melted butter for wings fried in vegetable oil.
Okay. But boring! Here, we're punching up the action with some spice and bright lemon juice to give Frank a leg up. It's not that much trouble. And, these are - ostensibly - "healthier" than deep-fried wings.
PLEASE: do not call these "Buffalo wings," or "Buffalo chicken wings." Leave Buffalo and the chicken out of it. We call them simply "wings." Now you're an honorary Buffalonian!
