Ingredients

6 Persons

  • 1 kg
    chicken wings (or 850g wingettes & drumettes)
  • 2 tsp
    baking powder
  • 0.25
    salt

DIP:

  • 120 g
    0% fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp
    Whey Protein Neutral
  • 1 tbsp
    lemon juice
  • 1 clove
    garlic, crushed
  • 30 g
    blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 pinch
    ground black pepper
  • 1
    spring onion, thinly sliced

DRESSING:

  • 15 g
    unsalted butter
  • 50 g
    hot sauce (like Frank’s red hot sauce)
  • 1 pinch
    sugar

TO SERVE:

  • 4
    celery stalks

Preparation

  • 1

    Cut the chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes, removing the wing tips (you can keep the wing tips in the freezer for making chicken stock at a later date). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture from the skin as possible. Toss them in a bowl with the baking powder and salt.

  • 2

    Fill the basket of the air fryer with the chicken, trying to leave a gap between them – you may need to do this in 2 batches.

  • 3

    Air Fry at 200C (400F) for 10 minutes then flip and cook for a further 10 minutes.

  • 4

    Meanwhile make the dip by whisking together all the ingredients, reserving some of the spring onion for garnish, in a small bowl. Sprinkle the reserved spring onion on top.

  • 5

    Once the wings are cooked, heat the butter, hot sauce and sugar in a small pot until melted and warmed through. Remove from the heat and toss the wings in the sauce to coat.

  • 6

    Serve the hot air fryer buffalo wings and celery stalks with the dip.
