Air Fryer Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings — sweet, spicy, and incredibly easy to make in an air fryer.
Why These Air Fryer Wings Work
- Healthier than deep-fried wings yet still crispy — this recipe needs only 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Fast to cook — air fryer wings take about 18 minutes, usually faster than oven baking.
- Convenient — you avoid heating the entire oven, save energy, and cut down on cleanup compared with frying.
Simple 3-Ingredient Sauce
Honey, Sriracha, and soy sauce combine into a balanced glaze that’s sweet, salty, and spicy — perfect for coating crispy wings.
Three Easy Steps
- Coat the wings with oil and seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Air fry for about 18 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the honey, Sriracha, and soy sauce while the wings cook.
- Toss the cooked wings in the sauce, then return them to the air fryer 1–2 minutes to set the glaze.
Adjust for Your Air Fryer
Air fryer models vary, so use the times as a guideline. Wings are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Recipe Tip
Avoid crowding the basket so the skin crisps evenly. Cook in batches if needed for the best texture.

Air Fryer Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
These sweet-and-spicy wings are crisped in the air fryer and finished with a glossy honey-Sriracha glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, cut into flappers and drummettes (discard wingtips)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey

Instructions
-
Pat the wing pieces dry and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (about 2 minutes). Spray the fryer basket lightly with oil and arrange half the wings in a single layer without crowding. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, flip, then air fry for another 8 minutes.
-
While the first batch cooks, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, and soy sauce in a medium bowl.

When the wings are cooked, remove them, toss in the sauce, and return them to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes to set the glaze. Repeat the cooking and glazing process with the second batch of wings.
