Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings patted dry
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons of Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika

For the Sauce:

  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Distilled White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • teaspoon ground ginger powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer basket to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season chicken wings with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and paprika. Add chicken wings to the basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking about every 7 minutes. Cook the wings until they are crispy and golden.
  • Once done, remove the wings and place them in a large bowl.
  • While the wings are cooking, combine butter, minced garlic, honey, vinegar, hot sauce, soy sauce, and ginger powder over medium-high heat. Stir together until butter is melted completely and all ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken wings in the bowl and toss to ensure all the chicken is covered in the sauce. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Pat the wings dry before seasoning for the best crispy texture.
  • Air fryers can run slightly differently, so cooking times may vary. Allow 20 to 25 minutes for the wings to be cooked.
  • I love to add a bit of hot sauce into the honey garlic sauce. Omit this is you don't like spicy foods, or add a little more in if you like your wings hot!
