  • For the crispiest wings, make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the wings in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • To make the wings even spicier, add more cayenne pepper to the coating.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard sauce.

Variations For Hot BBQ Wings

  • For a different flavor, try using different types of BBQ sauce, such as sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, teriyaki BBQ sauce, or mango habanero BBQ sauce.
  • You can also add other flavors to the coating, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano.
  • If you want to make the wings ahead of time, you can cook them according to the instructions and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat them in the air fryer or oven until heated through.
