Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Wings (Party Wings) about 12 wings
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce such as Frank's Red Hot
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Equipment
baking sheet with oven-safe cooling rack if using oven method
5.8 quart basket air fryer (Cosori XL) or air fryer oven
Instructions
Air Fryer Instructions (see Oven Method in footnotes)
Pat CHICKEN WINGS dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Toss wings with OLIVE OIL, SALT, PEPPER, and PAPRIKA.
Arrange wings in a single layer in air fryer tray with no overlap.
Set air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and air fry the wings about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow wings to fry longer for extra crispy skin.
To make the wing sauce, combine HOT SAUCE, HONEY, and BUTTER in a heat-safe mixing bowl (for microwave) or sauce pan (for stove). Heat this mixture using either method until butter is melted, stirring as needed.
Note: For classic hot wings, omit the honey.
Use clean tongs to transfer cooked wings out of the air fryer. Toss wings in the honey hot sauce until coated.
Serve warm with your favorite dressing or dip.
