How to Make Honey-Sriracha Air Fryer Wings
Ingredients:
- 12 fresh chicken wing drumettes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
Directions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
- In a bowl, sprinkle the chicken wings with salt and garlic powder. Toss them well to coat.
- Place the wings in the air fryer basket. Set the timer for 25 minutes and cook. Be sure to shake the basket every 7 to 8 minutes for even cooking.
- When the timer goes off, turn off the air fryer and let the wings sit in the basket for 5 more minutes to stay juicy.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk the honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce into the melted butter and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
- Toss the cooked wings in the sauce in a bowl. Reserve some extra sauce for serving.
How to Serve Honey-Sriracha Air Fryer Wings
Serve these wings hot, straight from the air fryer, with the extra sauce drizzled on top. They’re perfect alongside some crunchy celery sticks or a side of cooling ranch dressing. Enjoy these sweet and spicy treats at your next gathering, game night, or just as a tasty snack at home!
How to Store Honey-Sriracha Air Fryer Wings
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), place the wings in an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into the air fryer at 350 degrees F for a few minutes until they're warm again.
Tips to Make Honey-Sriracha Air Fryer Wings
- Make sure your wings are dry before coating. This helps them get crispier.
- Don’t overload the air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed.
- Feel free to adjust the sriracha to make it milder or spicier, depending on your taste.
Variation
You can swap out the honey for maple syrup for a different flavor. Adding sesame seeds on top after tossing in the sauce can add a nice crunch.
