Why use a Power Air Fryer Oven?
There are many reasons to like the Power Air Fryer Oven. The oven is versatile, simple and many recipes can be prepared quicker than with a traditional cooking process. It works as an air fryer, rotisserie oven and dehydrator. I have not used it as a dehydrator yet but plan to try that soon.
The simple design and pre-set cooking functions are perfect to have my teenager do some cooking. This appliance fits perfectly on my countertop even though I was concerned about space before I received it. And the best chicken wings are made without deep frying!
Sunday is for football, food and Buffalo chicken wings at our house. Since the Power Air Fryer Oven arrived, my son has taken the initiative to make his own wings. He cooks the chicken wings while I make the finishing sauce. The wings are coated with seasoned salt and flour before they are cooked. My son places them in the oven and most of the work is completed.
If youve never made chicken wings before, read my guide on purchasing and preparing chicken wings including how many to serve per person.
- Chicken Wings – If using whole wings, remove the tips and separate the flats & drummettes. You can also purchase pre-cut wings.
- Seasoned Salt – Liberally season the wings with your favorite seasoning salt blend or you could also just use salt and black pepper.
- Flour – Coat the wings in flour for a nice crust. Omit the flour or use cornstarch as a gluten-free alternative.
- Hot Sauce – Use your favorite sauce such as Franks Red Hot Sauce.
- Maple Syrup – No pancake syrup, please. Just real maple syrup. You can also substitute honey.
- Butter – Melt butter and cool slightly.
How to Cook Air Fryer Chicken Wings
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the salt and the flour. Toss the wings in the flour mixture so they are lightly coated.
- Spray the racks or air fryer basket liberally with cooking spray. Add the wings and place into the air fryer. Cook at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes turning half way through cooking. After 25 minutes adjust the heat to 400 degrees F and cook for about 5 more minutes or until the wings are as crispy as you like them.
- While the wings are cooking, mix together the hot sauce, maple syrup and melted butter.
- Remove the wings from the oven when they are crispy and cooked through. Toss with the sauce. Serve with blue cheese dressing if desired.
- Fresh wings are preferred. If using frozen wings, thaw them completely before proceeding with the recipe.
- If you purchase whole wings, remove the wing tips and separate the flats and drummettes.
- For crispy chicken wings, dry the wings on paper towels before tossing them with the seasoning.
- Place chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- For the best results and super crispy skin all over, turn the wings halfway through the cooking time.
- This air fryer chicken wings recipe will also work for whole chicken breasts but you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Always cook chicken to an internal temperature 165 degrees F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Serve buffalo wings with celery sticks, carrot sticks and blue cheese dressing.
- Gluten Free – To make these wings gluten free you will need to omit the flour or replace it with gluten free flour or cornstarch.
- Swap The Seasoning – You can season the wings with your favorite seasonings or dry rub from BBQ shake to ranch powder to Cajun seasoning. You can even mix and match.
- Sauce – A buttery Buffalo wing sauce is a classic option and everyone has a favorite wing sauce. You can toss them with your favorite or dip them in ranch dressing or bbq sauce. Lemon pepper wings and garlic parmesan are also popular flavor options.

These chicken wings are cooked in 30 minutes and come out super crispy! If you want, you can rotate the racks halfway through cooking but it is not necessary if you put both racks as far in the middle slots of the oven as you can.
Once the crispy wings are fully cooked in the Power XL Air Fryer oven, they are tossed in a combination of melted butter, hot sauce and maple syrup. Its the sweet and spicy combination that we love. Our favorite sauce is this one, however, the wings can be tossed in whatever sauce you like. I also serve the Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings with blue cheese dressing. This is a perfect recipe on any game day. In fact, my family loves chicken wings so much, that I created a Buffalo Chicken Flatbread with Bacon that is like Buffalo wings on a pizza.
I plan to use the Power Air Fryer Oven to make more chicken wings but also many other recipes. I think I might need to try my Baked Buffalo Cauliflower in my air fryer next. I have made many vegetables like asparagus and eggplant in this air fryer instead of using my oven. They are super healthy and GOOD! See more air fryer recipes below.
