- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
For the Buffalo Sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F and spray the basket of a 3-quart or larger air fryer with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels and transfer the wings to a large bowl. Sprinkle them all over with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the wings in the basket in a single layer, making sure they don't touch (you may need to cook them in two batches).
- Cook the wings for 10 minutes then remove the basket and carefully flip each chicken wing over. Continue cooking for an additional 8 minutes. Remove the basket once more flip the chicken wings again. Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes. The skin should look golden and crispy.

- Transfer the cooked wings to a large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly with approximately ¾ of the buffalo sauce, reserving the rest for dipping. Transfer the wings to a large serving plate and garnish with crumbled blue cheese and chives, if desired.
