Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings
We might be biased, but these air fryer wings are a must-try. They couldn’t be easier: Just throw chicken wings into your air fryer and bake to crispy perfection, then smother ‘em with Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce. In just 35 minutes, you’ve got the tangy Buffalo wings of your dreams. Start them during the preshow for crispy wings at kickoff.
Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Of course, chicken isn’t for everyone. And these plant-based cauliflower bites can’t be beat. They’re made with Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce for all the fiery flavour you love, and lightly coated with seasoned rice flour for irresistible crunch. Trust us: This will become your favorite way to eat your veggies!
Keto-Inspired Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Craving cauliflower bites but want to cut down on carbs? Try this tasty keto-inspired version, instead! Our recipe skips the rice flour in favor of almond flour, which adds rich, nutty flavor to each bite. The flour also roasts in the air fryer for a rich, almost toasty-flavor that’s totally crave-worthy. And, of course, coating each bite with Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce really kicks it up a notch.
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Bites with Beer Cheese Dip
A crispy app with two layers of heat and four types of cheese? Yes, please! These jalapeno bites are oh-so-amazing, featuring a chicken, cream cheese and bacon filling infused with Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce. The beer cheese dip is ultra-cheesy, made with rich fontina and gruyere. The dip tastes great on everything, so you might want to whip up a double batch to pair with your wings, cauliflower bites or with crudite.
Tips for tasty air frying
Make every bite mouthwateringly delicious
1. Air fry in batches for the crispiest goods
We know, we know: You want that whole batch of wings on the table asap. But the air fryer needs to be able to circulate air to work its magic — and if your food is jam-packed in the fryer, it’ll steam instead of crisp up. Instead, air fry each recipe in batches for the best results.
And if you want to snack while the next batch bakes, well, we won’t stop you!
2. Pat your wings or bites dry before baking
The excess water on your fresh-out-of-the-fridge wings or just-washed cauliflower bites can impact the air frying process, creating steam within the air fryer that results in less crispy treats. Take a minute to pat ‘em dry before you start air frying. Not only will they crisp up easier, but the excess water won’t dilute the seasoning.
3. Reheat with a quick blast in the air fryer
Need to revive that room-temperature platter of wings? If your apps somehow last long enough to cool down, add ‘em to the air fryer for a few minutes to get ‘em crispy again. Use this strat to streamline game day meal prep, preparing your snacks beforehand to reheat the day of the game. And use it on your leftovers to make them taste brand new.
