How to make Air fryer Hot Honey Wings

Wings

  1. Instructions:

  2. Prepare the Chicken:

  3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps ensure crispy skin.

  4. Make the Marinade:

  5. In a large bowl, mix yellow mustard, olive oil, Tony’s Creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base. Stir until well combined.

  6. Marinate the Wings:

  7. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).

  8. Preheat the Air Fryer:

  9. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

  10. Cook the Wings:

  11. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between them for proper air circulation.

  12. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

  13. Add the Hot Honey Glaze:

  14. Transfer the cooked wings to a bowl. Drizzle the hot honey over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

  15. Serve:

  16. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or sides. Enjoy!

  17. Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Creole seasoning for extra flavor and presentation.

Sauce

  1. Melt the Butter:

  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s fully liquid but not browned.

  3. Add the Flavors:

  4. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base. Mix well until everything is combined and smooth.

  5. Simmer:

  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

  7. Taste and Adjust:

  8. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, heat, or saltiness as needed by adding more honey, hot sauce, or a pinch of salt.

  9. Serve:

  10. Remove from heat and use immediately as a wing glaze, dipping sauce, or drizzle over your favorite dishes.

Tips & Tricks

  1. For crispier wings cook wings for 5-10 minutes longer.
