Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings

These wings are everything: shatter-crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, and finished with a sticky, savory honey-garlic glaze. The air fryer does all the heavy lifting — no deep frying, no greasy mess, just unbelievably crispy wings every single time.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels. This is the secret to crispy skin.

    Tip:Bone-dry wings = restaurant-quality crunch.
  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Arrange wings in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 12 minutes, flip, then cook another 10 minutes until deeply golden.

    Tip:Don't crowd the basket — work in batches if needed.
  5. 5

    While the wings cook, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until glossy, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Toss the hot wings in the glaze, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

Pro Tips from the Kitchen

  • Use a wire rack in your air fryer for extra airflow and 360° crispness.
  • Want extra heat? Add a teaspoon of sriracha to the glaze.
  • Leftover wings reheat beautifully — 4 minutes at 380°F brings them right back.
