In my opinion Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings ticks all the boxes for a cheap family meal, whether you’re on a budget or not. In the Milner household we spend less than $75 a week to feed a family of 5 and this includes our addiction to buffalo wings in the air fryer.

I grew up in a family that had nomoney worries. My parents started their own business when I was a toddler andit was successful from a very early point. It also allowed them to retire beforetheir 50^th birthdays and enjoy the good life.

But when I met my husband it wasthe complete opposite. He worked for below the minimum wage and I suddenly hadto go frugal with everything that I cooked. My beef roast was replaced with meatloafand my love for steak was completely forgotten about.

Over the years I learnt so much about frugalcooking and about cheap cuts of meat. In fact, the first cheap cut of meat thatDominic introduced me to was chicken wings. I just couldn’t believe how cheapthey were and how far they would stretch.

Now here in Portugal we get packsof them for just 2 euros. These packs are enough to feed a family of five whenyou take into account side dishes to go with them. We will usually serve themwith some cauliflower rice or as part of a casserole. And there is always someleftover for another day.

In this Air Fryer buffalo chickenwings recipe, I wanted to show you that you don’t need shop bought buffalosauce and you can make them yourself and they take very little time to do.
