  3. Air fry the chicken wings. Spray the basket with cooking spray (optional). Add wings to the basket, skin side up, ideally not overlapping.
  4. Cook the wings at 375°F for 15 minutes. Flip the wings, then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. Increase the temperature to 400°F. Flip the wings again and air fry for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Check that the thickest part of the wings has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Make the wing sauce of your choice. In a bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, teriyaki sauce, or honey BBQ sauce.
  8. Coat the wings with the sauce. Add wings to the bowl of sauce and toss to combine.
  9. Serve with a drizzle of extra sauce and a side of blue cheese dressing, carrots, celery, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
