1. Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towel. Removing surface moisture is key for crisp skin. 2. Season wings evenly with salt and black pepper. 3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3–5 minutes. 4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces. Do not overcrowd. 5. Cook at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is deeply golden and crisp. Internal temperature should reach at least 175°F for tender meat. 6. If extra crispness is desired, cook an additional 3–5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. 7. While wings cook, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in hot sauce and keep warm. 8. Transfer hot wings to a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over top and toss until evenly coated. 9. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.
