These wings are air-fried until crispy and then tossed in a flavorful sweet and spicy sriracha sauce. Super easy to make, definitely a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
Pat dry chicken wingswith a paper towel. Place in a large bowl. Season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure all the wings are evenly coated.
Brush the basket with oil. Pre-heat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
Dredge the chicken wings in a mixture of baking powder and cornstarch. To prevent any white residue, drizzle with vegetable oil and toss again to coat evenly.
Place the wings in the air-fryer basket in a single layer. They should just fit snugly. They will shrink when they cook. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air-fryfor 10 minutes then turn the wings to the other side and air-fry for another 8 to 10 minutes until crispy all over. Check doneness after a total of 18 minutes of cooking time.
Honey Sriracha Sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour the rest of the ingredients. Stir until it starts to simmer. Do a taste test, add more soy sauce or vinegar if preferred. Remove from heat as soon as it becomes smooth and silky.
Serve
When the chicken wings are done, place them in a large bowl. Pour over half of the sauce and toss to coat. Reserve the remaining sauce for dipping. Serve and enjoy!
