Start by gathering all necessary ingredients and preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings and drizzle them with oil. Use your hands to ensure every piece is well-coated.
Place half of the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve a golden-brown and crispy finish. Once done, transfer the wings to a bowl and cover them to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining wings.
While the second batch is cooking, combine hot sauce, melted butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture and keep it warm.
Once all the wings are cooked, pour the sauce over them and toss to evenly coat.
