Instructions

1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

2. Add the baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss to evenly coat the wings.

3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.

4. Working in batches if necessary, arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, honey, and garlic.

6. Toss the cooked wings with the spicy-sweet sauce until evenly coated.

7. Garnish the Air Fryer Firecracker Wings with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, pat the wings very dry before seasoning. You can also add a dusting of cornstarch to the seasoning mix. Adjust the spice level by using more or less hot sauce to suit your taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
