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 I am trying to get back on track with Weight Watchers, the air fryer is my favorite kitchen appliance.

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 chicken 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.
