Ingredients
3 ½ lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats, skin-on for crispiness)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt and black pepper
1 cup bbq sauce (use a pork-free, non-alcoholic variety)
½ cup honey
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels
Toss wings with cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a large bowl
Grease the air fryer basket with a light spray of cooking oil
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket
Drizzle half the BBQ sauce and honey over the wings
Air fry at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway and basting with the remaining sauce
