Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup cayenne hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp white vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Pat chicken dry; toss with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cornstarch. Shake off loose starch.
  2. Gently toss with oil; space half in one layer. Air fry 5 minutes; turn and cook 5 to 7 minutes more until lightly crisp and at least 165°F.
  3. Transfer to a clean bowl; repeat remaining chicken. Meanwhile, warm hot sauce, butter, and vinegar in a small saucepan until butter melts.
  4. Toss both cooked batches with warm Buffalo sauce just until coated.
  5. Rest 2 minutes; serve immediately while edges retain texture.
