Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook in batches if they don't fit in one layer to allow air to circulate.
  5. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flip the wings using tongs, and cook for another 8 minutes until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the wings are hot, whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp minced fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl.
  7. Toss the cooked wings in the honey-soy mixture until fully coated.
  8. For a caramelized finish, return the coated wings to the air fryer for an additional 1–2 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
