Air-fried Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

In this recipe, I’ll show you how to prepare these super easy air-fried sweet and sour chicken wings. I have always loved air fry recipes, so I will be sharing more in the days to come.

How to prepare air-fried Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

To prepare them, clean your wings and pat them dry. Place the wings in a large bowl and drizzle a little bit of oil on them. Now let’s season the wings: Add the onion, garlic powder, paprika, creole seasoning, and Italian seasoning into the bowl and mix it together with the chicken wings.

Now that the wings are seasoned, prepare the air fryer by spraying the grill that you are going to place your wings on. You should use a non-stick spray. Place your wings on the air fryer grill. Try your best not to put them too close together.

Air-fried Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

Use the poultry preset for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip them over and pop them back in the air fryer for another 20 minutes so that the other side can cook as well and have a nice golden brown color. While that is cooking, you can prepare your sauce. In a skillet, add four tablespoons of unsalted butter, half a cup of cayenne hot sauce, one tablespoon of soy sauce, three tablespoons of jalapeno pepper juice, two to three tablespoons of honey, and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about a minute or two, and the sauce will be ready.

Once the chicken is ready, pour the sauce onto the wings and give them a toss just to make sure the wings are well coated with the sauce. Pop the wings back into the air fryer for another five to six minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit to set the sauce on the chicken.
