Air fryer honey garlic chicken wings are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken wings. Here’s a recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wings, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the wings evenly.
- Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the wings in batches.
- Cook the chicken wings in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are cooking, pour the honey garlic sauce into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the simmering sauce and whisk until the sauce thickens slightly. This step is optional, but it helps to thicken the sauce and make it stick to the wings better.
- Once the chicken wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve the air fryer honey garlic chicken wings hot as an appetizer or as part of a meal. They go well with rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer honey garlic chicken wings!
