Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Pat the wings dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.
Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 22–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the wings cook, add the cola, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce to a saucepan.
Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes until reduced, thickened, and glossy.
Once the wings are cooked, brush generously with the cola glaze.
Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until the glaze becomes dark, sticky, and heavily caramelised.
Brush with another layer of glaze immediately after cooking.
Allow to rest for 1 minute before serving.
Serve hot and prepare for sticky fingers.
