Pour any remaining butter mixture over chicken. Set to 400°F; cook 12 to 15 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F), turning and stirring once. Serve with ranch dressing mixture.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
  • tip 2
    Look for precut wingettes and drummettes to skip the step of cutting whole chicken wings.
  • tip 3
    Be careful when removing wings. Hot chicken fat will collect in the pan below the air fryer basket and can splatter if you shake the pan and basket together.
  • tip 4
    Our recipes do not call for preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature, and start. Never preheat with parchment paper alone.
