Ingredients
- Chicken Wings:
- 14 chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Ranch Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅛ cup buttermilk (or whole milk + ¼ tsp vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat wings dry with paper towel.
- Place wings, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes in a ziplock bag. Seal and shake until evenly coated.
- Coat air fryer basket with avocado oil.
- Place seasoned wings in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Brush wings lightly with the remaining oil (use a clean brush from this point forward).
- Cook for 12 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Brush cooked wings with barbecue sauce and honey mixture using a clean pastry brush.
- Cook for another 4–6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
- If using frozen wings, add an extra 5 minutes to the initial cooking time.
- Top cooked wings with chopped parsley before serving.
- Ranch Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, and remaining dressing ingredients until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the wings dry for crispier skin.
- Do not reuse the same brush used for raw chicken when applying sauce to cooked wings.
- Homemade ranch dressing keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- For spicier wings, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ glaze.
