Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about these absolutely divine Air Fryer Honey Garlic Chicken Wings that have my family literally fighting over the last piece! They’re crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sticky-sweet honey garlic sauce that’ll have you licking your fingers shamelessly – no judgment here!
Listen, I discovered this recipe during one of my “what can I make in 30 minutes before the kids lose their minds” moments, and it’s been a total game-changer. Perfect for those afternoon cravings when you want something that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen (but totally didn’t).
What You’ll Need:
– 2 lbs chicken wings
– 4 cloves garlic (or more, I won’t tell 😉)
– 1/3 cup honey
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: red pepper flakes for my spicy food lovers!
Now, here’s the magic:
1. Pat those wings dry like they’re coming out of a spa treatment. Season with salt and pepper.
1. Place them in your air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd – these babies need their space!). Cook at 380°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Speaking of which, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! Trust me, my kitchen adventures get pretty interesting! 😊
1. While the wings are getting all crispy and gorgeous, let’s make that sauce that’ll change your life. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, add minced garlic (I always add an extra clove because #GarlicIsLife), honey, and soy sauce.
1. Once your wings are done, toss them in this heavenly sauce mixture. Pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400°F to caramelize that sauce.
Pro tip: Line your air fryer with parchment paper for easier cleanup because, honey, ain’t nobody got time for scrubbing!
The result? Wings that are so good, you’ll want to hide in the pantry to eat them all by yourself. I may or may not have done this… don’t judge me! 🙈
These are perfect for afternoon snacks, game day, or honestly, just because it’s Tuesday and you deserve something amazing. They’re that good!
