HONEY PINEAPPLE LEMON WINGS

by

Step 1: Prepare the Wings

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Cook the Wings

  1. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  2. Air Fry: Cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

Step 3: Prepare the Honey Pineapple Lemon Glaze

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine honey, pineapple juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Thicken (Optional): If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering glaze and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add Red Pepper Flakes (Optional): Stir in red pepper flakes if you want a touch of heat.

Step 4: Toss the Wings

  1. Coat with Glaze: Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the honey pineapple lemon glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  2. Serve: Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and garnish with extra lemon wedges or chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Tips and Variations

  • Extra Crispy Wings: For extra crispy wings, lightly coat them with baking powder before air frying.
  • Glaze Variations: Experiment with different citrus juices or add a splash of your favorite hot sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the glaze ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat before using.
