Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Instructions

step 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
step 2 Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
step 3 Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until evenly coated.
step 4 Spread the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or place them in the air fryer basket.
step 5 Bake for 40-45 minutes or air fry for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
step 6 While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
step 7 Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
step 8 Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
step 9 Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over them.
step 10 Toss the wings until well coated in the sauce.
step 11 Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with fries and dipping sauce.

Storage and Reheating Tips.

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or air fry for 5-7 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wings soggy.
