Ingredients

For the wings:
4 pounds chicken wings, drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon baking powder, aluminum-free
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Honey BBQ Sauce:
1/4 cup good honey
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

For the wings:
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Place the wings in a large bowl, add the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss to combine.

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the wings in the basket in a single layer, not touching. Air fry for 12 minutes, flip, and air fry an additional 12 minutes. Continue until all the wings are done.

Toss in your favorite wing flavor and serve and enjoy!

Honey BBQ Sauce:
Place all of the ingredients in a small medium-sized sauce pot. Whisk to combine. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Let simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.

Toss wings in sauce, garnish with optional sliced scallions.
