  • Air Fryer Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

He cooked chicken wings in countless ways and with different ingredients, but this one seems to have become a family favourite, and I cook it quite often.

Why We Love the Honey Garlic Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer?

The first reason is the combination of honey and garlic goes perfectly with chicken wings, giving them a delicious taste. Then, the honey caramelizes over the wings' skin, giving them a crunchy and sweet taste.

And last but not least, the wings are made faster by making them in the air fryer. Because I don't use any oil, they are healthier, and the result is always perfect; you can't go wrong with this air fryer chicken wings recipe.

If you want other delicious recipes made in the air fryer, I recommend some from our blog, such as:

  • Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
  • Air Fryer Doughnuts From Scratch
  • Cosori Air Fryer Whole Chicken
  • Pork Steak in Air Fryer
  • Ribeye Steak in Air Fryer
  • Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon
  • Air Fryer Pork Belly Bites

Before I start cooking these delicious honey garlic air fryer chicken wings, let me show you the ingredients I used in the recipe.

Ingredients

You can use whole wings if you want, but for this recipe, I chose two-part chicken wings, which I will season with the following ingredients:

  • one teaspoon of sea salt;
  • half teaspoon of freshly ground pepper;
  • one teaspoon of Hungarian mild paprika;
  • one teaspoon of the dried vegetable mix for soups;
  • one teaspoon of onion powder;
  • three cloves of garlic, crushed;
  • one tablespoon of olive oil;
  • two teaspoons of honey;
  • three sprigs of fresh thyme.

How to Make the Air Fryer Honey Garlic Chicken Wings?

Preparing the Wings

As I was saying, in this air fryer recipe, I will use chicken wings in two joints because the third joint, the end of the wing, is thinner, has little meat and is the part that usually burns more quickly, so I will remove them by cutting.

After wiping them well of the moisture with a paper towel, I put the chicken wings in a bowl and added all the ingredients, including the crushed garlic. I mix them with my hand, massaging the wings so that the ingredients penetrate well into the skin.

All Ingredients in the Bowl

For the taste of chicken wings made in the air fryer to be as excellent and aromatic as possible, let them rest in a cool place for at least half an hour or more to absorb as many flavours as possible.

Seasoned Chicken Wings in the Bowl

Frying on One Side

Before you start frying, I recommend preheating the air fryer to 195 degrees Celsius so that the recommended frying time is used only for this purpose. Cosori air fryer devices have pre set preheating options and countless other useful pre sets.

Grease the basket of the air fryer with a little oil or cooking spray, then place the chicken wings in a single layer, so they fry evenly.

Set the air fryer to 195 degrees Celsius (383 F) and let them fry for twenty-five minutes.

After 25 minutes, with the help of kitchen tongs, I will turn the wings over, and with a kitchen brush, I will brush them with a bit of honey. The honey will caramelize and give the wings a sweet and crunchy taste.

Half Fried Chicken Wings

Frying on the Other Side

Continue frying at 195 degrees Celsius for another ten minutes, and that's it. This was my air fryer honey garlic chicken wings recipe, finger-licking delicious and ready to be devoured by us.

Store and Reheat

If you have any of these wings left, which I don't really think, put them in a plastic container and keep them in the fridge for up to three days.

You can reheat the air-fried chicken wings very quickly in the microwave oven or the air fryer, and they will be just as tasty.

This chicken wings recipe is made in the Cosori XXL Air Fryer, and all cooking times are calculated according to this device, which in my opinion, is one of the best on the market at the moment.

F.A.Q.

What are the best sauces for air fryer honey garlic chicken wings?

It depends on everyone's taste, but the most loved ones are smoked BBQ, Buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing.

What kind of side dish can I serve with chicken wings in the air fryer?

I usually serve them with air fryer sweet potatoes or French fries, but it also goes well with Mediterranean cabbage salad or green bean salad with garlic cream.

Can you make air fryer honey garlic chicken wings without honey?

You can replace honey with brown sugar or maple syrup, and of course, you can use sweet BBQ sauce for greasing.

Serving

I served these delicious air fryer honey garlic chicken wings without many side dishes, just with a garlic mayonnaise sauce and a tomato salad with olive oil.
