Ingredients
1kgChicken wingstips removed and joints separated
1tbspOlive oil
1tspGarlic Powder
1tspSmoked paprika
1tspSalt
½tspBlack pepper
150gBBQ Sauce
3tbspRunny honey
1tspApple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Pat the wings dry with kitchen paper and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer — you may need to cook in two batches depending on the size of your fryer. Cook for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wings are golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small pan over low heat. Warm until glossy and slightly thickened. Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the sauce, then return them to the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to help the glaze set. Repeat once more for extra sticky shine, then serve hot.
