Stages of cooking
-
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.
