Method
step 1
Pat the chicken wings dry using kitchen paper. In a large bowl, mix together the baking powder, cornflour, garlic granules, paprika, cayenne and ½ tsp salt. Toss the wings in the oil, then add the dry mix and turn to coat evenly.
step 2
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Air-fry at 200C for 25-30 mins, turning halfway through, until crisp, golden and cooked through.
step 3
Meanwhile, melt the butter with the hot sauce and honey in a small pan or the microwave, stirring to combine. For the ranch dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste. Once the wings are done, toss in the buffalo sauce and serve immediately with the ranch dip on the side.
