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.

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.
