Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 2 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Honey Sriracha Glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
For the Chicken:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken wings or drumettes dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then toss them in olive oil to coat evenly.
- Place the chicken in the EaZy MealZ air fryer basket (this makes it extra crispy), making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For the Honey Sriracha Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the glaze from heat and set aside.
Assembly:
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl.
- Pour the Honey Sriracha glaze over the hot chicken and toss until the pieces are well coated.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Sriracha Glazed Air-Fried Chicken!
