Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cooking brush
  • Tongs

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add in the Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Whisk until all the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth.
  2. Add the chicken drumettes to the bowl with the honey mustard sauce. Using tongs, toss the wings in the sauce until they are fully coated. Make sure every piece is generously covered for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This ensures that the wings start cooking immediately when you place them in the basket.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken drumettes in a single layer in the basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
  5. Cook the wings in the air fryer for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This will ensure that both sides get crispy and golden brown.
  6. Once the wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot, drizzled with any leftover honey mustard sauce, and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place wings in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness.
