Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for crispy chicken wings cooked in an air fryer and coated with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for snacks or casual gatherings with a healthier twist than deep-frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings. Cut into flats and drumettes if not already done.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F for 25-28 minutes, flipping halfway at 13 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  5. While wings cook, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  6. Whisk cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and toss gently with the warm honey garlic sauce until coated.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, air fry plain for 20 minutes, toss in sauce, then air fry an additional 3-5 minutes at 400°F. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and flip wings halfway through cooking. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free version. To reheat leftovers, air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
