Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1.5-2 pound package chicken wings, cut into drumettes and wingettes, with the tip removed
- 5 Tablespoons salted butter divided
- 1-2 Tablespoons honey garlic seasoning blend
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Chopped green onions optional garnish
- Sesame seeds optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and dry the wing pieces well with a paper towel.
- Toss the wings with 1 Tablespoon of melted butter and then rub the honey garlic seasoning blend all over the chicken wings.
- Place the wings in an even layer in the air fryer and cook for 7-9 minutes per side or until they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally. You may need to cook them in batches so that you don’t overcrowd the air fryer.
- While the wings are cooking, melt the remaining salted butter in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Add the minced garlic and saute in the hot butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the honey and soy sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until thick and syrup-like.
- When the wings have cooked, toss or dip them in the sauce until well coated.
- Return to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes or until sticky and slightly charred.
- Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, optional.
