Equipment

  • Air Fryer (but you can also use an oven)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lb party chicken wing dings they should be disjointed with tips removed
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 tsp jerk seasoning up to 9 tsp but this is really to your taste
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp tamari
  • 1/4 tsp gluten free hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger or fresh grated ginger if desired
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Set your air fryer temperature to 400 degrees or your oven to 400. If aircfrying, 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. If baking, elevate the wings by cooking them on a wire rack on top of a parchment paper-lined pan.
  • Allow wings to cook for 15-17 mins making sure to flip halfway.  They should be pretty much done. If baking, they may need to go about 27-35 minutes.
  • 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 again for 8 minutes then serve.
