Recipes AirfryerHot Honey Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Sticky, sweet-and-spicy hot honey wings made entirely in the air fryer. A quick marinade gets them seasoned, then a glaze of honey, soy and hot ketchup caramelizes into a glossy coat in the last stretch of cooking.
They hit that sweet-heat-salty balance that makes game-day wings disappear. Serve with ranch or blue cheese and plenty of napkins.
Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate
Toss the wings with the garlic powder, bouillon and olive oil. Let them rest 20 minutes.
Make the glaze
In a bowl, stir together the honey, spicy ketchup and soy sauce. Set aside.
Air fry
Preheat to 350°F. Cook the wings in a single layer for 15 minutes.
Glaze and finish
Pour the glaze over the wings, toss to coat, and cook another 20 minutes, shaking once or twice, until sticky and caramelized.
- Pat the wings dry before seasoning for crispier skin.
- Add the glaze only in the second half so the sugars don't burn.
- Shake the basket a couple of times for an even, glossy coat.
