Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (mix of drummettes and wingettes)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Salt & pepper
  • 3/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Chile 'N Lime Sauce*
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 jalapeno minced finely (seeds and ribs removed)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery sticks
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing to serve

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly oil air fryer basket or coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the wings dry, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add the baking powder to a large bowl and toss the wings in it until coated.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the air fryer, and select the chicken function. Set the temperature to 400°F for 15 minutes (no need to pre-heat the air fryer).

Step 5

When the 15 minutes are up, flip the wings with tongs.

Step 6

Let cook for about 5 more minutes or until the skin is nicely browned and crispy. Do this in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.

Step 8

Let the sauce simmer until thickened, stirring often, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 9

Toss the cooked chicken wings with the sauce until coated all over.

Step 10

Serve with carrots, celery, dip of your choice and a nice, cold beer!
