These crispy honey sriracha chicken wings are an easy, bold snack with a perfect balance of sweet heat and crunch, made quickly in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings, tips removed and separated at the joints
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or regular)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  2. Place wings in a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Season wings with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Mix well.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry wings at 400°F (205°C) for 25-28 minutes, flipping halfway through at 12-14 minutes, until skin is golden and crisp. Add 2-3 more minutes if needed.
  7. While wings cook, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, and optional 1 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  8. Transfer cooked wings to a clean bowl and immediately pour the honey sriracha glaze over them. Toss gently to coat all wings.
  9. Serve wings immediately, optionally garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before seasoning for best crispiness. Preheat air fryer to lock in crispness. Flip wings halfway through cooking for even browning. Glaze wings only after cooking to avoid burning sugars. For extra crispiness, re-air fry glazed wings for 2-3 minutes at 390°F but watch closely to prevent burning. Leftovers reheat best in air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispness.
