What are dirty wings? Dirty wings are like an upgraded Buffalo wings, double fried, and double sauced. (Air)Fried > Sauced> Fried again > Sauced again. The second trip to the air fryer caramelizes the peppers, spices, and butter, in the homemade low carb buffalo sauce adding a robust layer of flavour you will love. An easy appetizer, party snack, or game day finger food. No brining, no added sugar, no deep frying mess.
* 2-3 pounds chicken wings split * 1½ teaspoons salt * 1 teaspoon pepper * 2 tablespoons olive oil * Sugar Free Buffalo Wing Sauce * ¾ cup hot sauce Valentia, Franks, Louisiana, Etc. * ½ cup butter salted * ¼ teaspoon garlic powder * 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar * ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce * ¼ teaspoon soy sauce optional
**Directions:**
1. **Prepare the chicken wings**. Pat the chicken wings dry on all sides with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Lightly drizzle with olive oil to coat the wings and season all sides liberally with salt and pepper. 2. **Air fry until cooked through.** Place the chicken wings in your air fryer in a single layer. Cook at 375°F [190°C] for 20-25 minutes, turning half way. The skin should be a crispy golden brown and the chicken wings should be fully cooked. 3. **Prepare the buffalo sauce.** Combine the hot sauce, butter, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and soy sauce if using, in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring with a whisk until the mixture begins the simmer and the butter has melted. Do not let it boil unattended or the sauce will break. Remove from the heat to cool. 4. **Sauce the wings.** Add half of the homemade buffalo sauce to a large mixing bowl. Place the fully cooked chicken wings into the bowl and toss to coat the wings entirely in the sauce. 5. **Fry the wings a second time**. Place the sauced wings back into the air fryer in an even layer. Cook again at 375°F [190°C] for 12- 15 minutes until the sauce has caramelized and the skin has crisped up again. 6. **Sauce again and serve.** For extra crispy wings serve immediately with some extra sauce on the side for dipping. For extra saucy wings, add the remaining buffalo sauce to the mixing bowl and toss the wings again to coat. Serve with ranch or low carb creamy garlic dipping sauce.
