Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Wings
We have been making wings in the oven for years and they are always good but these? I’m not sure how I ever enjoyed homemade chicken wings before the air fryer came along, I really don’t.
These HOT HONEY WINGS are cooked to perfection in the air fryer before being tossed in the BEST sweet and spicy sauce. This easy recipe takes just 30 minutes until you set them on your table and yield the crispiest, juiciest, flavor packed wings every time.
I’m totally obsessed with how perfectly crispy these wings are on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The key is to cook them at the right temperature for the right amount of time and they are guaranteed to come out perfect every time.
But the air fryer isn’t all that makes these chicken wings next level. What really elevates these wings is the delicious sticky sauce. Permission to lick your fingers afterwards granted.
These Hot Honey Wings are the perfect, main course, party appetizer or game-day food. And speaking of Game Day, who are you rooting for on Super Bowl Sunday? I’m going to cheering for the half time show and the food.
