Spicy Honey Chicken Wings

Spicy Honey Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are one of my favourite easy go to dinners. They don’t take long to cook, you don’t have to marinate them (but you could if you wanted to) and they are incredibly versatile; what’s not to love? I’m sharing with you today one of my fav ways to have wings, the spicy honey wings. This is so easy I can barely call it a recipe but I still will because what else will we call it? Let’s get into the recipe (keep up, we already agreed to call it a recipe)! 

Chicken Wings

600g chicken wings, cleaned

½ tsp each – salt, black pepper, onion granules, smoked paprika, ground ginger

¼ tsp garlic granules

2 tbsp. honey

3 tbsp. your fav hot sauce (I used Sriracha extra spicy)

 

Method

Season the chicken wings with the salt, black pepper, paprika, onion granules, ginger and garlic. You can cook them straight away or cover and refrigerate for 30 mins to 4 hours.

Preheat your air fryer to 190C. One heated, add in the chicken and fry for 25 mins shaking the basket after every 10 – 15 mins. Increase the heat to 200C and fry for a further 6 mins to crisp up the skin. Alternatively you can bake in a 200 C oven (400F) for 40 mins.

To confirm your chicken is cooked through, pierce the thickest part of the meat with a skewer, any juices that come out should be clear. If pink, it’s not fully cooked; put it back for a further 1-2  mins and check again. , if no juices it is overcooked; it will be a bit dry but hey, at least you won’t get salmonella (every cloud right?)

While the chicken is cooking mix the hot sauce and the honey together in a large bowl; Add in the cooked chicken and toss through. Tear into them animal style or delicately with a crisp side salad J
