  • 2 lbs ​ chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes, patted dry)
  • ​1 tbsp olive oil (or cooking spray)
  • ​1 tsp garlic powder
  • ​1/2 tsp onion powder
  • ​1/2 tsp salt
  • ​1/4 tsp black pepper
  • ​1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free, for extra crispiness)

  • ​1 tbsp butter
  • ​1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder until evenly coated.
  2. ​Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd). Cook for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  3. ​Make the Sauce: While the wings are cooking, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. ​Toss and Serve: Transfer the hot crispy wings to a bowl, pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them, and toss well. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve warm!
