How to Make Honey BBQ Chicken Wings In Air Fryer

Step One: Prepare Your Chicken Wings

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F using the air fryer setting. Dry the chicken wings with a paper towel or kitchen towel.

Step Two: Coat Your Wings

Then put your wings into a large bowl, and pour the baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper on them. Then coat them on all sides with the flour. The baking powder will help make crispy wings.

Step Three: Air Fry Your Chicken Wings

Then put your wings into the air fryer basket, single layer, set the cooking time for 12 minutes, flip, and do another 12 minutes.

Step Four: Prepare The Honey BBQ Sauce

Meanwhile, pour the honey and BBQ sauce into a bowl, and mix.

Step Five: Serving

When the wings are done, coat them in the BBQ Sauce and Honey mixture and a dash of hot sauce.

Pro Tips Air Fryer Honey BBQ Wings

• Fresh | Make sure to use fresh chicken, not frozen. If you use frozen, you can have uneven cooking, where some chicken pieces don’t thoroughly cook, and others might overcook.
• To Season Or Not To Season | If you want, sprinkle your chicken with salt and pepper before cooking it. It will help allow more flavor into your chicken without overpowering the honey bbq sauce.
• Sauce | If you want to make these as naked wings, do part honey barbeque and the other half with buffalo wing sauce. Feel free to do different flavors. Just leave space between each wing, so they don’t take on the others’ taste and get evenly cooked.
• Cook with Sauce On | Brushing your wings and cooking them a bit longer is critical. This will take the sauce from a classic sauce to a sticky glaze on the wings. It is one step I highly recommend not skipping.
• Seasonings: Add some Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, or Cayenene Peper for added flavor.

How to Know When Chicken Is Done

However you cook the chicken wings, they need to reach an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F. I suggest using a meat thermometer. (affiliate link)

If you do not own a meat thermometer, you want to ensure the chicken has no pink meat. Also, you want to look at the juice to ensure it runs clear. If in doubt, I always recommend cooking longer to be on the safe side. A meat thermometer, though, is the best way to check.

How To Store

Storing cooked chicken wings is a great way to enjoy leftover food and save money. You’ll need to follow a few simple steps to ensure that the chicken remains safe for consumption.

Let the cooked chicken wings cool to room temperature before storage. Next, transfer the cooked chicken wings into a shallow airtight container or wrap them in plastic or aluminum foil.

What To Serve With The Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings

When it comes to the best air fryer chicken wings, there are lots of great side dishes that can elevate your meal. For a classic pairing, try serving your wings with crispy air fryer french fries or air fryer potato wedges for some extra crunch.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for something lighter, coleslaw and garden salads are always great accompaniments to fried chicken. If you want some extra flavor and texture, try pairing your wings with rich air fryer macaroni and cheese, or crunchy air fryer garlic bread.

And if you’re looking for something a little more unique, how about serving up air fryer zucchini fries or air fryer roasted cauliflower?
