Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder not baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup honey (85g), preferably raw or wildflower
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (45ml), low sodium recommended
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic minced finely (or 1 teaspoon garlic paste)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15ml)
  • 2 tablespoons water (30ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional

Method
 

  1. Pat dry 2 pounds (900g) of chicken wings using paper towels.
  2. Toss the wings in a medium bowl with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between each piece and cooking in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown, crispy, and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, apple cider vinegar, water, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl while the wings cook.
  7. Simmer the glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it is glossy and slightly thickened.
  8. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl, pour the warm glaze over them, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

The Secret to Crunch: I have learned that moisture is the enemy of a good wing, so I spend extra time patting them dry with paper towels before adding the baking powder.
