Method
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
Pat the turkey wings dry with kitchen paper.
Rub the wings with the olive oil.
Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt and black pepper, then coat the wings thoroughly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the wings cook, whisk together the BBQ sauce, cranberry sauce, maple syrup, Dijon mustard,
Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Brush the wings generously with the cranberry BBQ glaze and return them to the air fryer for 8–10 minutes, brushing once more halfway through, until the glaze becomes thick, sticky and beautifully caramelised.
Rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted vegetables and plenty of napkins.
