Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby’s Sauce

Earlier this week I made my homemade (sorta) Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. Instead of making my own, I picked up a bottle of Arby’s sauce at the grocery store. For days, every time I opened the fridge, that half-used bottle was staring at me. Calling me. “What should I do with it?” I thought. Well, only one answer came to me: “Make a wing sauce!”. So I did. And that’s how air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce came to be. And they were a very good thing. That great Arby’s sauce tang, with a little Buffalo sauce inspiration and flavor added in. They might sound crazy because they were. Crazy good, that is!

Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby's Sauce

Can You Buffalo-ize Anything?

These air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce raises the question “Can you turn any sauce into a Buffalo wing sauce-like sauce?”. Maybe. I’ve certainly tried plenty of times. And usually I end up with something I like. And truth be told, it’s a great way to use up those half-bottles of sauces you’ve had in the fridge for a few weeks longer than you should’ve. Heck, what do you have to lose? Try them. You might just like them.

Yep, for extra heat, add more hot sauce. I was gonna say that earlier but forgot.

Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning Dry Wings

This is Part Two of: Have you seen those machines you can buy to make your house smell good? Why do you need one of those smell-making machines when all you need to make your home smell outrageously fantastic is to make some of these dry wings? You get the homestead smellin’ good and you can enjoy some delicious wings! The first part was with Dan-O’s Original Seasoning. Now, it’s time for some Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning dry wings. How much more of a win-win could you need? Or want?

Dan-O's Spicy Seasoning Dry Wings

Herby And Spicy Deliciousness

Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning was invented for poultry. It’s full of the good stuff that you might normally find on a roast turkey or chicken. Well, don’t forget the wings! These Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning dry wings are what roasted wings should be. Crispy skin. Wonderful herby flavors. Moist, tender meat. Oh and just a little kick. Not overwhelming, but a little spiciness to wake you up!

I Love Dry Wings

I’m a huge fan of dry wings. They’re hard for me to resist. I love them seasoned heavily. I love that great crunchy skin. Usually, I season my wings before cooking and then again after for extra flavor. For these wings, however, I go with one good, healthy seasoning beforehand. That’s it. No post-cook seasoning required or needed. These are great wings without more, no need to bury them in it!

Air Fryer Hooters Buffalo Wings

What a fool. I was just sitting here the other day thinking maybe I’d cut back on the wings. Take a little break. After I make these air fryer Hooters Buffalo wings, that sounds like a good time to chill a bit. Well, ‘no’. Just ‘no’ to that idea. Not when there are wings like these. And from the air fryer? I would’ve told you that you were lying to me. No way. “They have to be deep-fried” is what I’d say. Or exclaim. Nope, they aren’t. These are great Buffalo wings. These are the kind of wings that make me happy and ready to eat more tomorrow!

Air Fryer Hooter's Buffalo Wings

Darn Near Deep-Fried

I use my air fryer for wings a lot because it’s easy and makes for some good wings. But not quite like I’d get deep-fried, which is my wing of choice (well, that and wings cooked on a charcoal grill using the Vortex). These air fryer Hooters Buffalo wings come mighty close to being just as good as deep-fried. Mighty close. Darned close. Close enough? That’s up to you to decide. I loved them. Tossed in a simple standard Buffalo sauce, I could not get enough of them.

Soy-Ginger Glazed Air Fryer Wings

8? 12? 18? How many of these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings could I eat? Well, I’m not telling. But the answer is definitely ‘a lot’. The sauce on these wings is sweet, salty, savory… and slightly citrusy. No heat here. But plenty of amazing sweetness that is beyond finger-licking good. I actually made this sauce for roasted Brussels sprouts, but after tasting it I realized that its true calling was on wings. And boy, was I ever right!

Soy-Ginger Glazed Air Fryer Wings

Yesterday Seems So Far Away

You have to make the glaze for these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings the day before you plan on devouring them. Don’t realize 10 minutes before it’s time to eat that you need to make it. That’s too late. Do it the day before and refrigerate it overnight. You’ll then have the perfect glaze. Thick. Like molasses. Delicious. And oh so worth it.

The Air Fryer? Again?

No, no, you don’t really have to make these wings in the air fryer. Make the glaze the day ahead. Then make the wings however you want. I went air fryer because that’s my go-to less-mess technique. Grilled, deep-fried, baked… doesn’t really matter. Just make some wings your way. Then glaze them!

Need Heat?

If you’re a gotta-have-it-spicy person, add a few pinches of red pepper flakes to the glaze while it’s simmering happily away. Let it flavor the sauce. Don’t go crazy with it, though. A little is ok. A lot? You’ll overwhelm the delicious sauce.

For the glaze (make the day ahead!)

For the wings

Instructions

For the glaze (make the day ahead!)

  • Combine the brown sugar, sugar and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring often, until the sauce reduces by one half. The sauce will thicken somewhat and will continue thickening as it cools later.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the fresh ginger.
  • Let cool then place into a resealable container in the fridge overnight.
  • Bring to room temperature before serving. I set the container out while I prepare the Brussels sprouts.

For the wings

  • Note: Before starting, remove the glaze from the fridge so it can come to room temperature while you cook the wings.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Sprinkle over the wings with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Note: You'll have to work in batches to cook all of the wings unless you have a super-large air-fryer. Do not overlap the wings in the basket or they will not cook evenly.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
  • Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
  • Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
  • Remove and toss or brush with the glaze.  Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

For a spicy version add a few good pinches of red pepper flake to the glaze while it is reducing.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

I was craving good lemon pepper flavor. Not mild lemon pepper flavor, either. I wanted a punch of flavor. I wanted my lips to pucker. And I wanted my tongue to burn. When I made a batch of Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper air fryer wings I was not shy with the seasoning. Seasoned up front. Seasoned on the back end. And devoured in no time!

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Flavorful Crispy Skin

I love air fryer wings for two reasons. First, the skin gets nice and crispy. Second, they’re easy. Ok, three reasons. They don’t dry out either. You have to be careful seasoning your wings before you put them into the air fryer, though. That high heat can burn any seasoning that has sugar in it. Or garlic. Things like that. So be careful with it. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry with these Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper air fryer wings. The seasoning can handle it. So load up!

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

The temperature outside dropped below 50F and my thoughts turned to Thanksgiving. I can’t help it. I was definitely looking forward to roasting a turkey in my oil-less fryer. But then, I thought, I love wings. How about taking that wonderful turkey seasoning and putting it on a batch of wings too? “Brilliant!” I exclaimed. So I made some Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings and by golly, the holiday came early! Not only did these wings taste great, they made the house smell fantastic too!

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Back For Seconds

I made these Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings two days in a row. I had to. They were great. I’ll let you in on a little modification that makes them even more Thanksgiving-y. I seasoned the wings upfront, like the recipe states. And I seasoned them when they were done, also like it states. But I also snuck in another round of seasoning. Before the last 6 minute cook, where the air fryer temp is increased to get that great crunchy skin, I placed the wings into a bowl and seasoned them some more. Back into the air fryer they went. Boy, were they ever finger-licking good!

Air Fryer Blackened Wings

I love a good air-fried dry wing. The air fryer does a great job crisping up the skin while leaving the meat moist and tender. Although these air fryer blackened wings don’t have sauce, they definitely do not lack flavor. Blackening seasoning adds a nice spicy, herbal kick to wings. To me its like roasted chicken, only elevated. A lot. These are great wings. And beyond easy to make.

Air Fryer Blackened Wings

Double-Seasoned Deliciousness

I like to season my air fryer blackened wings twice. Once, before cooking. I can do that with these seasoning without fear of the seasoning burning because it doesn’t contain any sugar. The seasoning will get nice and toasted while the wings cook. And it imparts a great flavor to the skin and meat.

I season my wings again hot out of the air fryer. While the wings are still a little ‘wet’ from the fat cooking. Yep. Fat. Well, that’s what that is. And it helps seasoning still well. So I load up. No boring bites for me. Nothing but flavor in each and every one.

Air Fryer Thousand Island Wings

No, it’s not a typo. I made air fryer Thousand Island wings. Oh and not only did I make them, I loved them. Big time. When I first read the recipe I wasn’t sure about what I was getting myself into. Was I about to waste a bunch of good ingredients for some crazy idea that should’ve never come to fruition?

Air Fryer Thousand Island Wings

Oh, That Sauce!

The wings for these air fryer Thousand Island wings are pretty much your standard, good air fryer wings. No special seasoning. No special treatment. Nothing that is going to fight with the real star of the show: the sauce. At first, the combination of Thousand Island dressing, onion soup mix and apricot preserves may seem odd. But it ends up being a wonderfully tangy, slightly sweet, tasty sauce that is truly finger-licking good.

Dip Away

Make extra sauce. Dip your wings in it. Dip chips in it. You can even dip (gasp!) chicken nuggets in it. Pretty much anything.

Want Heat?

Add a few good pinches of red pepper flake if you want a bit of a kick to your sauce. But don’t go crazy with it. You don’t want the heat to take over the wonderful flavor.

I’m a huge fan of dry wings. It’s hard for me to resist super-seasoned wings with that great crunchy skin. Usually, I season my wings before cooking and then again after for extra flavor. For these wings, however, I go with one good, healthy seasoning beforehand. That’s it. No post-cook seasoning required or needed. These are great wings without it.

Instructions

  • Combine the Dan-O's seasoning and garlic salt.
  • Season the wings with the mix. Let rest 30 minutes.

For the air fryer

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if needed, air fry the wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and air fry another 12 minutes.
  • Turn the air fryer temperature to 400 F and fry another 6 minutes or until the wings are golden brown.

For the oven

Notes

I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.

Sweet Peeper Air Fryer Dry Wings

The air fryer is my go-to tool for making fantastic dry wings. They’re so simple, so easy, but oh so delicious. Today, I made a little batch of Sweet Peeper air fryer dry wings for my lunch. And I was happy. Heck, I was more than happy. Oh that crunchy skin. That aroma while they were cooking. And bite-after-bite of seasoned chicken. A wonderful combination of brown sugar, paprika, honey and other herbs, these wings are a great change from your usual Buffalo-inspired wings.

Sweet Peeper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Crazy Easy

Making great air fryer dry wings really is easy. Season the wings a bit. Cook them to perfection. Season them some more. And if you’re like me, eat them immediately and burn your mouth. Well, it has happened. I can’t help myself. These Sweet Peeper air fryer dry wings smelled so good while they were cooking that I couldn’t wait for them to cool down a bit before taking those first few bites.

Crispier Than A Fall Evening

My approach to air fryer wings always gets me that great crunchy crispy skin. If you can handle the wait, let them cool a bit after cooking (and after that last seasoning) to crisp up a bit more.
