# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Quick and Easy: From prep to plate in just 30 minutes with the convenience of an air fryer.
  • Irresistible Flavor: A perfect balance of sweet honey, savory soy sauce, and a spicy kick from sriracha.
  • Healthier Choice: Achieve that signature golden-brown crunch without the heavy oils of deep frying.
  • Naturally Dairy-Free: A delicious option for those following a dairy-free lifestyle.
02 -
  • Extra Crispiness: Use a paper towel to pat the chicken wings very dry before seasoning to help the skin crisp up better.
  • Avoid Burning: Do not add the glaze before air frying; the high sugar content in honey will burn. Always toss the wings in the glaze after they are cooked.
  • Single Layer: For the best air circulation, do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to maintain a single layer.
