Question 1

Can I make these wings in an air fryer instead of the oven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To air fry, preheat your air fryer to 375 F (190 C). Arrange the wings in a single layer and cook for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness, increase the temperature to 400 F (200 C) for the last 3-5 minutes.

Question 2

How do I make these wings crispy?

Accepted Answer

For crispy wings, pat the wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning. You can also add ½ teaspoon of baking powder (not baking soda) to the spice rub. This helps draw out moisture and creates a crispy texture.

Question 3

Can I make these wings less spicy?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Simply reduce the amount of hot sauce in the honey glaze or swap it for a milder option like sweet chili sauce. You can also add an extra teaspoon of honey to balance out the spice.

Question 4

Can I use frozen wings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but they need to be thawed completely before baking for even cooking. If using frozen wings, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight or use the cold-water method (placing them in a sealed bag and submerging in cold water for about an hour).

Question 5

How do I prevent the wings from sticking to the pan?

Accepted Answer

Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a well-greased wire rack. Avoid using foil, as the wings can stick to it when baked at high heat.

Question 6

Can I double this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Just make sure the wings are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If overcrowded, they will steam instead of browning. Use multiple trays or bake in batches if needed.
