1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried thyme

1 tsp sea salt

oil spray

120ml hot sauce

60g (¼ cup) unsalted butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp white vinegar

½ tsp Worcestershire sauce

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)

¼ tsp sea salt

120ml mayonnaise

60ml (¼ cup) sour cream

Juice of ½ lemon

1 tsp fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Combine the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme and salt in a large bowl. Mix to combine, then add the chicken wings and toss to completely coat.

Preheat an airfryer to 200°C (390°F). Place the chicken wings on greased airfryer trays or basket in a single layer, top side down to start. Spray the wings with some spray oil.

Cook for 20-25 minutes. At around 12 minutes in, turn over and spray again with oil and place back into the air fryer for the rest of the cook.

Combine all the ingredients for the hot sauce in a medium saucepan and place over a medium heat.

Bring the mixture to a simmer while whisking, until homogenised, then remove it from heat.

Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, lemon juice, dill, chives and salt.

Mix well until combined, then set aside until ready to serve.

Place the cooked chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pour over the buffalo sauce. Toss until they're fully coated in the sauce.

Serve the hot wings with the ranch dressing on the side.
