Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds (32 oz) chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure optimal crispiness for the wings.
  2. Prepare Chicken Wings: Wash the chicken wings thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to help the cornstarch and seasoning adhere better.
  3. Coat Wings: Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch directly to the wings. In a separate bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, then sprinkle this spice blend evenly onto the wings. Toss well to coat every wing thoroughly with both cornstarch and seasoning.
  4. Air Fry Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 20-23 minutes, flipping halfway if possible, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: While the wings are cooking, combine soy sauce, unsalted butter, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. In a separate small bowl, mix water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch to create a slurry.
  6. Simmer Sauce: Bring the sauce mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze consistency.
  7. Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat every piece evenly with the glaze.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sauced wings for added flavor and a decorative finish. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure wings are thoroughly dried before coating to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use seasoned rice vinegar for a slightly tangier flavor or plain rice vinegar as an alternative.
  • Check wings halfway through air frying and shake the basket or turn them over for even cooking.
  • The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before tossing with wings.
  • Adjust honey quantity depending on desired sweetness.
  • For extra crispy wings, add a little more cornstarch or increase cooking time slightly.
