Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints, tips discarded
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Coat the Chicken Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Air Fry the Chicken Wings:
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Coat with Honey Garlic Sauce:
- In a separate large bowl, transfer the cooked wings. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Crisp for a Final Touch:
- Return the sauced wings to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to allow the sauce to caramelize and the wings to become extra crispy.
Serve:
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve your honey garlic chicken wings hot, and enjoy!
