Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Wings (Party Wings), about 12 wings
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
- 2 tablespoons Honey

- Toss wings with OLIVE OIL, SALT, PEPPER, and PAPRIKA.
- Arrange wings in a single layer in air fryer tray with no overlap.
- Set air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and air fry the wings about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow wings to fry longer for extra crispy skin.
- To make the wing sauce, combine HOT SAUCE, HONEY, and BUTTER in a heat-safe mixing bowl (for microwave) or sauce pan (for stove). Heat this mixture using either method until butter is melted, stirring as needed.Note: For classic hot wings, omit the honey.
- Use clean tongs to transfer cooked wings out of the air fryer. Toss wings in the honey hot sauce until coated.
- Serve warm with your favorite dressing or dip.
