Print Recipe

These crispy air fryer chicken wings are coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze with a hint of ginger and soy sauce, delivering a sticky, flavorful bite without the mess of deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g), preferably raw or organic
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30 ml), low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse chicken wings under cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Split wings into flats and drumettes if not already done.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss wings with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry wings for 25-28 minutes, flipping halfway through at 13-14 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While wings cook, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and slightly thickened. Avoid boiling.
  7. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and pour warm glaze over them. Toss gently with tongs to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately for best crispy texture. To keep warm, place wings on a wire rack in a low oven (200°F / 93°C) for up to 10 minutes.

Notes

Dry the wings thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent soggy wings. Warm the glaze gently and avoid boiling to keep honey smooth. If glaze thickens too much, rewarm before tossing wings. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Wings can be baked in a convection oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes as an alternative.
