Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Pat the wings completely dry with kitchen paper.
Add the wings to a large bowl.
Drizzle over the olive oil.
Mix together all the pitmaster rub ingredients and coat the wings thoroughly.
Place the wings into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 22–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp.
While the wings cook, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
During the final 4 minutes of cooking, brush the wings generously with the glaze.
Return to the fryer and allow the glaze to caramelise around the skin.
Remove and rest for 1 minute.
Pile high onto a platter and serve immediately.
