Air Fryer Chicken Wings with Harissa Hot Honey
A Mediterranean twist on buffalo wings, these dry-rubbed wings cook in the air fryer until deep golden brown. Enjoy them as-is or add a layer of sweet heat from a quick, tangy hot honey sauce made with harissa and apple cider vinegar.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 pounds trimmed chicken wings, divided into drums and flats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Creamy Feta Dressing (optional)
Harissa Hot Honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon harissa
- 1 large garlic clove, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Get ready. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Cut the wings into flats and drumettes, if necessary,. Pat the chicken wings very dry. Place them in a large bowl.
- Season the wings. In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings. Toss well until the wings are evenly coated.
- Air fry the chicken wings. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may need to cook the wings in batches. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are deep golden and crisp on the outside and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
- Make the Harissa Hot Honey. While the wings cook, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, warm the honey, harissa, and garlic together over medium-low heat, just until runny. Add salt and the apple cider vinegar, stirring until combined, and remove from the heat.
- Finish and serve. Transfer the wings to a large bowl and, if using, drizzle the hot honey sauce all over. Toss until coated.
