Crispy and flavorful air fryer chicken wings tossed in a sweet and tangy honey BBQ sauce. Perfectly cooked with a sticky glaze, these wings make a delicious appetizer or snack.
2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings split at the joint
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons honey
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the wings evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
After 12 minutes, flip the wings and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the wings are crispy and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the wings are cooking, in a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce and honey until well combined.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Serve the wings immediately while hot and sticky.
