Start by using a paper towel to dry the chicken wings. Then sprinkle the chicken wings with garlic salt, salt, and black pepper.
Set the wings into the air fryer basket for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting.
While the wings are cooking, in a small saucepan, over medium heat, mix the cherry coke, brown sugar, tomato paste, minced garlic, tabasco sauce, paprika, dry mustard, and honey.
Mix well, and bring to a slight boil.
Use a pastry brush, brush the cola mixture onto the wings, and return them to the air fryer. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set the timer for 10 to 12 minutes. Brush them several times during the cooking process with your coca-cola mixture.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F before removing them.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
