Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 lb party chicken wing dings (disjointed with tips removed)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 8 tsp jerk seasoning (up to 9 tsp for extra heat)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Cooking spray
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 tsp tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1/4 tsp gluten-free hot sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (or fresh grated ginger, if desired)
- 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- In a large bowl, pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, jerk seasoning, and baking powder, tossing until well combined.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C). Spray the rack with cooking oil and arrange the chicken wings evenly, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook the wings for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be crispy and nearly done.
- While the wings cook, melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, tamari, hot sauce, ginger, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 3-4 minutes and then remove from heat.
- Once the wings are cooked, coat them in the sauce or brush the sauce on, then return them to the air fryer for an additional 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the jerk seasoning based on your spice preference.
- For extra flavor, let the wings sit in the seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking.
