Ingredients
- 12 whole chicken wings (about 1kg)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 25g butter
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- ½ tsp honey
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp soured cream or yogurt
- ¼ tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- 1 spring onion or small bunch of chives (optional)
Method
Pat the chicken wings dry using kitchen paper. In a large bowl, mix together the baking powder, cornflour, garlic granules, paprika, cayenne and ½ tsp salt. Toss the wings in the oil, then add the dry mix and turn to coat evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Air-fry at 200C for 25-30 mins, turning halfway through, until crisp, golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, melt the butter with the hot sauce and honey in a small pan or the microwave, stirring to combine. For the ranch dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste. Once the wings are done, toss in the buffalo sauce and serve immediately with the ranch dip on the side.
