Steps:
- Coat the basket of a 3 quart or larger air fryer with nonstick spray.
- Trim off the wing tips (you should be able to feel the joint soft spot). It should separate fairly easily, but if not, put the blade in place, then carefully but firmly hit the top of your knife to apply extra pressure. Discard. Next, split the drumette side of each wing from the flat side at the joint: slice down through the skin feeling for the "soft spot" and wiggle your knife as needed.
- Pat the wings very dry. Sprinkle all over with salt.
- Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure they do not touch (if needed, stand up the drumettes along the side). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F. Cook the wings for 12 minutes, then remove the basket and with tongs, flip the wings over. Return to the air fryer at 360 degrees for 12 additional minutes.
- Slide out the basket, flip the wings once more, then return them to the air fryer. Increase the air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F. Cook the wings for 6 minutes, flipping once more halfway through. The skin should look nice and crisp (if your wings are on the larger side, they may need a few more minutes).
- While the wings finish up, melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave or a saucepan on the stove. Stir in the hot sauce, garlic, and vinegar until smooth.
- Transfer the wings to the bowl with the hot sauce mixture. Toss to throughly coat the wings. Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chives as desired. Enjoy warm with blue cheese sauce and celery.

Tips:
- Use fresh chicken wings: Fresh chicken wings will give you the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen chicken wings, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Pat the chicken wings dry: Patting the chicken wings dry will help them crisp up in the air fryer. You can use a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to do this.
- Season the chicken wings generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! The more you season the chicken wings, the more flavorful they will be. You can use your favorite seasonings, or try a pre-made blend like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Preheat your air fryer: Preheating your air fryer will help the chicken wings cook evenly. Most air fryers have a preheat setting, but if yours doesn't, simply set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and let it run for 3-5 minutes before adding the chicken wings.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer: If you overcrowd the air fryer, the chicken wings will not cook evenly. Leave some space between the chicken wings so that the air can circulate around them.
- Cook the chicken wings in batches: If you have a lot of chicken wings to cook, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
Conclusion:
Air fryer chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, game days, or a quick weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have crispy, flavorful chicken wings that everyone will love.
