Spices – The wings are rubbed or mixed with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Some mustard powder can also be added for extra flavor.
How to make honey hot wings
- Season the wings (according to the recipe below).
- Prepare the wings in the oven or Airfryer.
- Mix with the hot honey sauce and fry until brown and sticky.
Nonstick foil or parchment paper is recommended in the air fryer basket or to line your baking sheet.
The hot honey sauce can become sticky and difficult to clean!
Crispy wings
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels so you get crispy chicken wings.
- Do not overcrowd the Airfryer or baking tray. Cook them in batches.
- Use parchment paper to make cleaning easy, but only after the air fryer has been preheated.
- Before serving, place all cooked wings in the Airfryer basket and heat for 3 minutes.
