Looking for a healthier twist on a classic favorite? Try my Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken for a guilt-free version of this popular dish. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tossed in spicy buffalo sauce - it's the perfect combination of flavors.

Plus, using the air fryer cuts down on oil, making it a better-for-you choice. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying dish for game day, a party appetizer, or a fun weeknight dinner. Give it a try and see how tasty healthy eating can be!

There isn’t a whole lot to lighten up or swap in for this Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken to make it any more healthy. You might be able to get your hands on some lightened up blue cheese or maybe even an organic buffalo sauce, but it may not make a whole lot of a difference with the amounts being used here, so - don’t sweat it!

I served mine with some roasted broccoli florets for a rounded out meal. This chicken would also be good served with a side salad or maybe even sautéed veggies.
