Air Fryer Buffalo Style Skinny Chicken Wings Recipe!
The great thing about an air fryer is that it saves on calories because you aren’t soaking the food in the fat that you do when you deep fry. And since we are back on track with Weight Watchers, the air fryer is my favorite kitchen appliance. You can see the Air Fryer Chicken Quesadillas recipe that we made and the Air Fryer Reuben Roll Ups recipe also.
Being from Buffalo, the home of Buffalo chicken wings, I’m not about to give up one of my favorite foods. That’s the great thing about Weight Watchers…you don’t have to. The Air Fryer Buffalo style skinny chicken wings recipe is only 6 smart points per 4 oz serving, which is about 5 chicken wings. Of course if you want to add blue cheese, you will have to add those points in as well. I only had regular blue cheese dressing which I counted as 2 smart points per 1 tablespoon. That was plenty for the 5 wings I had.
When I had my snack bar in Florida, I served Buffalo Chicken Wings all the time and the people loved them. And remember that you can make them as hot or mild as you’d like. I like mine mild and my husband likes them as hot as can be.
5 chicken wings might not sound like a lot, but served with a side salad, I was satisfied. Let’s get cooking!

Can you put the sauce on and then fry them a little longer to give it a “crunchy” sauce?
These look fantastic but aren’t wings (with all that skin) unhealthy? I have an air fryer but I can’t believe this is ok for WW. Don’t you have to remove the skin (and the taste)???
I’m not sure how they calculate points but I never really gave much thought to the skin, but now I will.
I’ve my air fryer! Excited to try chicken wings in it! So I can make them in the fryer from frozen? Yay!
This recipe makes me want to get an air fryer.
Ive recently started to try different sauces and dips for my chicken, I have fallen in love with honey barbacue dip and garlic parmersan!
These look even better than if they were fried in oil. I hope to get an air fryer one of these days. Maybe for Christmas if I’m lucky.
I would love an article explaining the point system! It sounds like something I could really get into!
Thank you for sharing. They look delicious.This would be great for football season.
I love chicken, but its best fryed! I take the leftovers and make them into a casserole!
Looks delicious! The air fryer is a good buy!
It seems the closer I get to 30, the more the extra sweets and ice cream I ate that week seems to hang onto my middle section. It may be time for me to start eatting healthier choices!
Looks amazing! I just got an air fryer and can’t wait to try this recipe.
Fried chicken is one of my favorite foods! I will try it this way to see if it tastes the same!
The chicken wings look delicious. I have heard great things about the air fryers. I hope to get one soon.
I love how fast and easy it is to make dinner in the air fryer! And so much healthier!
These wings look just like the ones Lees make and would cost so much less to make more at home!
I would love to see a cake recipie to make in the air fryer!
I have an air fryer on my wishlist on Amazon! I would love to get one because it seems way healthier to make than actually frying something. Seems like it’ll taste better too.
These would be really great for a party, especially a sports party! You could really make a whole spread with these and other finger foods.
Chicken is my favorite food! I’m always looking for new ways to eat it. These look so good!
I have been on a chicken craving kick lately! I may have to get an air fryer just to try this recipe!
I really want an air fryer, they sound amazing! I used to love my fryer, for the results though, not the mess or smell. This sounds like such a great alternative, and I can still eat the fried foods I love! This recipe sounds delicious, thank you so much for sharing!
That’s the problem with traditional fryers…the mess and the smell. With the air fryer you don’t get either.
Making these now to enjoy Saturday Night TV. Thank you for the recipe.
