How to make Sriracha Honey Chicken Wings
Marinate the Wings
Soak the chicken wings in buttermilk for 1 hour to tenderize and add moisture. After soaking, drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Let them marinate for 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken Wings
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the wings in a single layer and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
Prepare the Glaze
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, water, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the glaze thickens slightly.
Toss the cooked wings in the sriracha honey glaze until well coated. Return the wings to the oven or air fryer for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly, if desired.
Serve the Sriracha Honey Chicken Wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs if you like.
