Sticky Garlic Chili Air Fryer Wings
These wings disappear before they cool down.
There’s something about that first bite—the crackle of perfectly crisp skin followed by juicy, tender chicken underneath, all coated in a glossy garlic chili glaze that clings to every edge. These wings come out of the air fryer golden, slightly charred in spots, and dripping with a sweet heat that builds without overwhelming.
This is the kind of recipe you make after a long day when you want something fast but still crave real flavor. No deep frying, no mess—just bold, sticky wings that taste like they came from your favorite spot.
They’re ready in under 30 minutes

What Goes In:
2 lbs chicken wings (split)
1 tbsp baking powder (for crispiness)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
For the Sauce:
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp chili flakes
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp butter
Let’s Make It:
Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. This step is key for crispy skin.
Toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Place in air fryer at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp.
While wings cook, melt butter in a pan and add garlic, honey, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
Toss hot wings in the sauce until fully coated.
Serve immediately while they’re sticky, hot, and irresistible.
