Ingredients
1 lb chicken wings, patted very dry
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp hot sauce (or cayenne pepper to taste)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Place wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While wings are cooking, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until combined and glossy.
Once wings are done, toss them immediately in the honey mixture until fully coated.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Patting the wings dry with paper towels is the most important step to achieve maximum crispiness. Adjust the heat of the glaze by adding more hot sauce if you prefer a spicier finish. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
