Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 C).
Pat the chicken wings dry and coat them with a generous amount of salt and a little pepper.
Place the chicken wings in the basket in one layer. Cook for about 20-22 minutes until chicken wings are cooked through.
While the chicken wings are cooking, combine the Franks red hot sauce, butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a small sauce pan on medium low heat. Whisk frequently until mixture comes to a simmer and butter is completely melted then set aside.
Flip the wings, then increase the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees and continue cooking the wings until they are crispy on the outside, about 4-5 minutes.
Coat with buffalo sauce or use it as a dipping sauce and enjoy!

Don’t overcrowd the basket to ensure the chicken wings all cook evenly.
For a milder buffalo sauce, decrease the amount of Frank’s Red Hot sauce and increase the amount of butter in the sauce.
Counter the spiciness of the buffalo sauce by serving it with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrots.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Store the wings separate from the buffalo sauce, if possible.
Reheat leftovers in an preheated air fryer at 400 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes until warmed through.
Use a parchment liner or air fryer to help with clean up if wings are already sauced when reheating them.
