I’ve shared quite a few chicken wing recipes here but I gotta say these honey garlic chicken wings are some of my faves ever. They are next level crispy and tossed in a bomb sticky sweet and a little spicy honey garlic glaze. I even add a little jerk seasoning to the wings to really amp up the flavor. These wings don’t mess around boos.

How to Make Honey Garlic ChickenWings
Step 1: In a large bowl, pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel then season with salt and pepper then with jerk seasoning and baking powder and toss them in it until well combined.
Step 2: Set your air fryer or oven temp to 400 degrees. Spray rack using a cooking oil spray and arrange chicken wings evenly on the rack. Make sure you don’t overcrowd the wings so they can cook evenly. Allow wings to cook for 15-17 mins making sure to flip halfway. If baking, go longer around 30-35 minutes flipping halfway.
Step 3: As chicken cooks, add butter and minced garlic to a pot over medium heat and cook until butter melts and garlic becomes fragrant.
Stir in honey, tamari, hot sauce, ginger and paprika and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat. Once wings are done cooking and are completely crispy, add wings to the sauce and coat evenly or brush the sauce then add to the air fryer or oven again for 8 minutes then serve.

Notes

Recipe Tips
- Pat It Dry: Get those wings as dry as humanly possible. Any dampness will keep these honey garlic wings from getting really crispy.
- If Baking: Switch to broil at the end to really crisp the wings up and get the saucy super sticky.
- Thicken it Up: Make sure you don’t leave the sauce too loose and runny or it won’t cling to the wings. Let it thicken up enough so it gets sticky.

This is my first air fryer chicken wing attempt and WHOA!!! These wings are going to be a staple!
Made these for my husband’s birthday dinner, we loved them!! Did them in the oven for about 45 min at 425. Turned out soooo crispy and perfect for tossing in the sauce. Served with coconut rice and grilled zucchini and pineapples. Will definitely make again!
Made them tonight and as usual the recipe was the delicious!!!!! l I cooked mine a little bit longer added 4 minutes just to make sure that they were crispy after I put on the sauce really really really great!!
