Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp water (optional, for thickening)
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Pat wings dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Arrange in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Use teriyaki sauce instead of soy for a sweeter glaze.
Drizzle with lime juice for brightness.
Cook 3–5 minutes longer for extra crispiness.
Preheat air fryer and avoid overcrowding for best results.
