Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 pieces chicken drumettes
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior that we all love. As the air fryer heats up, you can prepare the chicken.
  2. Next, add your chicken drumettes to the basket of the air fryer. Ensure they are spread out evenly for proper cooking. Cook them for 8 minutes without disturbing them; you want them to get nice and crispy.
  3. After 8 minutes, carefully flip the chicken drumettes using tongs. Cook them for another 8 minutes. At this point, you should start to smell the delicious aroma filling your kitchen.
  4. Check the wings for doneness. They should be crispy and fully cooked. If they don’t seem crispy enough, you can cook for another 2 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  5. While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a 12-inch skillet, combine Dijon mustard, honey, unsalted butter, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Warm the mixture over medium heat until it starts to bubble slightly; then, remove it from the heat.
  6. Once the wings are done, transfer them to the skillet with the honey mustard mixture. Toss the wings gently in the sauce to ensure they're fully coated. The combination of flavors will create a mouthwatering glaze that’s hard to resist.
  7. For an extra touch, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top for added heat before serving. This little addition can elevate the dish and impress your guests!
  8. Now your Air Fryer Honey Mustard Chicken Wings are ready to enjoy! Serve them hot and watch everyone dive into the deliciousness.
