What are the best chicken wings for this recipe?

Any variety of chicken wings works well, including traditional wings or party wings. Ensure they are fresh or properly thawed if frozen.

Can I use chicken drumsticks instead of wings?

Yes, chicken drumsticks can be substituted. However, cooking times may vary, so make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

You can easily increase the heat by adding more Sriracha or cayenne pepper to the sauce. Additionally, consider using hot honey for an extra kick.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your air fryer according to its instructions.
Mix soy sauce, paprika, ginger, honey, and minced garlic in a bowl. This is your sauce.
Add Sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like heat.
Coat the chicken wings with breadcrumbs for a crispy texture if desired.
Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in the air fryer basket.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or air-fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Drizzle the homemade sauce over the wings just before serving.

Don’t overcrowd the wings during cooking to ensure even crispiness.
