These air fryer honey garlic wings are the perfect appetizer for your game day get-together, or they make an easy family dinner served alongside sweet potato fries and your favorite salad.
The honey is the key to the sweetness of this recipe, and it thickens the sauce, allowing it to stick perfectly to the wings. If you love sweet and sticky sauces, try Sweet Chili Chicken Stir Fry for another easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
See the recipe card below for the remaining ingredients and quantities.
Instructions
Step 1: Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, then add the wings to a large bowl and season with spices. Mix with your hands until the wings are fully coated with the spices.
Step 2: Add the wings to the air fryer tray or basket. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Step 3: While the wings are cooking, make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 4: Once finished cooking, add the wings to a large bowl, pour the sauce over top and toss with tongs to coat the wings with the sauce.
Tips for Perfectly Glazed Wings
- Before you season the chicken, pat the wings down with a paper towel to keep them crispy.
- Don't overcook the wings or they will become dry and tough.
- Make sure the sauce has thickened slightly before pouring over the wings to ensure it sticks.
- Store the wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Cool the wings completely before freezing and freeze them without the sauce. When you are ready to eat, defrost the wings in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
