Ingredients
- 12 pieces (26 ounces) chicken wing portions (a mix of drumettes and wingettes)
- 6 tablespoons Frank's RedHot sauce
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Blue Cheese Dip
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/3 cup 2% Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- For Serving
- 2 celery stalks, halved crosswise and cut into 8 sticks total
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, halved crosswise and cut into 8 sticks total
Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce, the vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, and salt, tossing to coat well.
-
For the blue cheese dip: In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese and yogurt together with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice and vinegar until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.
-
Working in batches, arrange a single layer of the chicken in the air fryer basket. Cook for 22 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy, browned, and cooked through. (For a toaster oven-style air fryer, the temperature remains the same; cook for 15-16 minutes.) Transfer to a large clean bowl (do not use the bowl the marinade was in.) When all the batches are done, return all the chicken to the air fryer and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
-
Return the chicken to the bowl and toss with the remaining 5 tablespoons hot sauce to coat. Arrange on a platter and serve with the celery, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dip.
-
To prep the wings ahead of time, you can marinate the chicken and make the dip the night before.
