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, to taste)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Cooking spray
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 tsp tamari (or 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 chicken wings with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper, then toss with jerk seasoning and baking powder until evenly coated.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray the air fryer rack with cooking spray and arrange the chicken wings evenly on the rack, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Air fry wings for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, tamari, hot sauce, ginger, and paprika, and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once wings are crispy, add them to the sauce, coating evenly, or brush the sauce on the wings. Place the wings back in the air fryer for another 8 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the jerk seasoning and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the wings in the air fryer to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- You can substitute tamari with regular soy sauce if you’re not concerned about gluten.
