Ingredients

• 1 package of TGI Fridays Buffalo Style Chicken Wings (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)

• ¼ cup extra buffalo sauce (optional, for tossing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the wings start crisping up immediately when placed in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Buffalo Wings

1. Remove the frozen wings from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika before air frying for extra flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Buffalo Wings

• Cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F at the end.

• The wings should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Toss & Serve

• Transfer the crispy wings to a bowl and toss with extra buffalo sauce for even more heat and flavor (optional).

• Serve immediately with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

How to Serve These Buffalo Wings

• Classic Wing Night: Serve with carrot and celery sticks and a cold drink.

• Spicy Kick: Drizzle with extra hot sauce or add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

• Game-Day Platter: Pair with mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and jalapeño poppers for a full spread.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

• For an extra crispy texture, spray with a little extra cooking spray before air frying.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want extra saucy wings? Toss in melted butter and buffalo sauce mix after air frying.
