Air Fryer Hot Honey Wings
Crispy, sticky, and perfectly sweet-spicy — these Air Fryer Hot Honey Wings are the ultimate crowd-pleasing game day recipe! Made in the PowerXL Air Fryer, they’re healthier than fried wings but just as addictive. Prep them ahead and toss in the hot honey glaze right before serving!
Ingredients
- 2 –3 lbs chicken wings split at the joint
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp hot sauce I like a Louisiana style hot sauce
- 1 tbsp butter optional, for a richer glaze
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar optional for a little tang
Let's Make It
- Prep the wings: Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp up). Toss in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
- Air fry: Place wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry at 390°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden and crispy.
- Make the glaze: While the wings cook, heat honey, hot sauce, butter, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Toss & serve: Transfer the wings to a large bowl, pour the glaze over the top, and toss to coat. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
