First of all I used fresh chicken wings in the air fryer as you can see below. I bought this large package wings at Aldi.

The simple sauce is made with only butter, fresh garlic and hot sauce and takes very little time to make so you can do that while the wings are air frying.

NOTE: If you want to use frozen wings cooking times may be longer. I put instructions in the recipe card below as to how to use frozen chicken wings instead of fresh.

Let’s make our keto air fryer chicken wings!

Step 1: Prepare you chicken wings by sprinkling salt & pepper all over the chicken wings and spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Step 2: Place in the wings in the air fryer basket.  Try to form a single layer and not over crowd them and bake at 380°F for 15 minutes.

Then flip them and increase the temperature to 400°F and fry for 15 minutes more. You can using cooking spray again if you want. Below you can see how crispy they get when air fried.

Step 3: While the wings are frying, make the easy buffalo sauce. See recipe card for instructions.

Step 4: Now all you have to do is spoon the buffalo sauce over your wings or place them in a bowl and pour it over.
