Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds party style chicken wings can also use whole chicken wings that have been halved crosswise
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce such as Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place the chicken wings in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, then toss to coat.
  3. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. You may need to work in batches if they don't all fit at once.
  4. Bake for 20-22 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time, until the wings are deep golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, butter and honey. 
  6. Remove the wings from the air fryer. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • It is super important not to crowd your wings in the air fryer. If the wings are too close together, the hot air will not have enough room to circulate and the chicken won’t get as crispy.
  • These wings are best when eaten immediately, as they will eventually lose their crispy texture when the sauce soaks into the outer layer.
