Instructions

1. **Prepare the Chicken Wings:** Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with salt and pepper.
2. **Air Fry the Wings:** Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
3. **Make the Buffalo Sauce:** While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined. Remove from heat.
4. **Coat the Wings:** Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
5. **Serve:** Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve with blue cheese dressing on the side.
