Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.67 cup cayenne pepper sauce
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Place wings in a large bowl; drizzle oil over wings and massage until chicken is evenly coated.
  • Arrange 1/2 of the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer for 25 minutes. Use tongs to flip wings and cook until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining wings.
  • While the second batch is cooking, combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and keep warm until wings are cooked.
  • Pour sauce over cooked wings and toss to coat.
