Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

12 fresh chicken wing drumettes
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup honey
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

Steps:

Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
Place chicken wings in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder, tossing to coat.
Place wings in the air fryer basket. Set timer for 25 minutes and cook wings, shaking basket every 7 to 8 minutes. When timer ends, turn air fryer off and let wings stand in the basket for 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce into butter and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Turn off heat and set aside; sauce will thicken as it cools.
Toss cooked wings and sauce together in a bowl. Reserve extra sauce to serve alongside wings.

Tips:

Choosing the Right Wings: Select fresh, plump chicken wings with no bruises or discoloration. Pat the wings dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure crispy skin.
Seasoning the Wings: Use a combination of spices and herbs to create flavorful wings. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper are popular choices. Experiment with different blends to find your favorite combination.
Coating the Wings: To achieve a crispy coating, toss the wings in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. This coating helps the wings stay crispy even after being sauced.
Cooking the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the wings. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for the recommended time, flipping halfway through. For extra crispy wings, cook for a few additional minutes.
Making the Honey Sriracha Sauce: Combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Conclusion:

Honey sriracha air fryer wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With their crispy coating and flavorful sauce, these wings are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
