What's the best way to store buffalo chicken wings?

Store them for a maximum of 2 days in the refrigerator and reheat them in the air fryer for a crispy result.

Why do you use baking powder in this buffalo chicken wings recipe?

Baking powder helps to dry out the skin, making the chicken wings extra crispy during baking.

Can I marinate the chicken wings in advance?

Yes, you can even marinate the wings overnight. That gives even more flavor to the chicken.

Can I make the blue cheese dip without blue cheese?

Yes, replace the blue cheese with extra cottage cheese and some lemon juice for a milder dip.

Absolutely. Use cauliflower florets instead of chicken wings and follow the same seasoning and preparation.

Easy

What absolutely can't be missing during a Red Devils football night? Buffalo wings, of course! Together with Frank Boeckx, I made a slightly lighter version of this American classic, without compromising on taste. Thanks to the Philips Airfryer Mega Basket with steam function, the chicken wings first remain deliciously juicy inside, after which they get an extra airfry treatment for that irresistibly crispy crust.

The dip also got a fresh makeover. Instead of a heavy mayonnaise base, I use cottage cheese, combined with spicy blue cheese and fresh chives. The result? A surprisingly light blue cheese dip that perfectly complements these spicy buffalo chicken wings. Ideal to serve with the mini hamburgers and lazy dumplings during an evening cheering for the Red Devils. Not a fan of blue cheese, then try the ranch!!

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut the chicken wings at the joint to get nice, even pieces.

Place the chicken wings in a large bowl.

Add garlic powder, chili flakes, paprika powder, smoked paprika powder, baking powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and salt.

Mix everything thoroughly so that each piece of chicken is covered with the marinade.

Let marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Marinating overnight will give even more flavor.

Arrange the chicken wings side by side in the Philips Airfryer Mega Basket.

Select the Steam Fry function and cook the wings for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dip.

Place the cottage cheese, Roquefort gorgonzola, water, chives, pepper, and a pinch of salt in a food processor.

Blend until a creamy dip forms. If necessary, add a little extra water for the desired consistency.

Remove the chicken wings from the air fryer and turn them over.

Switch to the regular Airfry function.

Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes at high temperature until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Spoon the blue cheese dip into a small bowl.

Arrange the buffalo wings around the dip on a large platter.

Garnish with extra finely chopped chives and serve immediately.
