Honey hot wings are always a crowd pleasure. I have included instructions for both the airfryer or fresh out of the oven.
If you like a little sweet and spicy, give these honey hot wings a try.
For the Wings
I recommend mixing the spices together in a small bowl, then pouring it over the chicken wings. This ensures the spice mixture is evenly distributed.
- 2lbs chicken wings (split, tipped).
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher salt, sea salt, etc)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika is preferred but regular is fine)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (optional)
Toss all of these ingredients in a large bowl and massage the wings with the dry rub.
Honey hot wing sauce:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (I used Franks Red Hot Sauce)
- 3 tablespoons of butter, melted. I used salted but you can use unsalted butter.
I brushed some on the wings while they cooked and then boiled the sauce down for a few minutes before I poured over the wings.
Air Fryer Instructions
In an air fryer of 400F, you’ll need to cook them for about 16 minutes. I like to flip them halfway.

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 2lbs chicken wings (split, tipped). I made sure I bought them that way from Costco.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher salt, sea salt, etc)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika is preferred but regular is fine)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (I used Franks Red Hot Sauce)
- 3 tablespoons of butter, melted. I used salted but you can use unsalted butter.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and spices together. Massage with your hands so the dry rub evenly coats the wings.
- In a small bowl melt the butter, add the hot sauce and honey. Stir until combined.
Air Fryer Instructions
- Add the wings to the air fryer basket and cook them at 400F for 16 minutes, flipping halfway.
- During the last 4-5 minutes, brush the wings with the hot honey sauce for sticky wings. Or pour the sauce over when they're cooked for saucy wings (see below).
- While the wings are cooling, boil the sauce ingredients for a few minutes (3-5) to reduce it and pour over the wings.
Oven Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange the chicken wings on the sheet pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway at the 22-25 minute mark.
- During the last 10-15 minutes of bake time, brush the hot honey glaze over the wings for them to get sticky.
- Want a more saucey wing? While the wings are cooling, boil the sauce ingredients for a few minutes (3-5) to reduce it and pour over the wings.
Tips
- Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, lay them in a single layer. This will help the air circulation to prevent uneven cooking and crispy air fried chicken wings as a result.
