Description
Enjoy the spicy tang of classic buffalo sauce with this quick and easy air fryer buffalo chicken, featuring juicy and charred chicken breasts without the mess of frying.
Ingredients
- 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup hot sauce (Frank’s-style recommended)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (or olive oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Add the chicken breasts and toss until each piece is evenly coated in the buffalo sauce.
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking. For less heat, mix half hot sauce with half honey.
