Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings split
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Honey Buffalo Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce like Frank's Red Hot
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Sprinkle half the flour mixture over the wings and toss to coat. Rest for 5 minutes, then add the remaining flour and toss again.
  • Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and place the basket in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 380°F and cook the wings for 23-25 minutes until crisp and cooked through. Shake the basket a couple of times during the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
  • Avoid crowding the basket and work in batches if necessary.
  • While the wings are cooking, make the sauce.

For the Honey Hot Sauce

  • Add the hot sauce, honey, and butter to a small pot. Heat on low heat until the honey and butter are melted. Whisk until smooth.
    This can also be done in a microwave. Place the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup and heat for about 30 seconds to melt the honey and butter. Whisk until smooth.

Sauce the Wings

  • Remove the cooked wings from the air fryer and place them in a large bowl.
  • Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat. You can add as much or as little as you like.
  • Move the wings to a platter to serve with extra sauce and your favorite dip.
