You’ll Need
1kg chicken wings
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
For The Sweet Chilli BBQ Glaze
3 tbsp smoky BBQ sauce
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp chilli flakes
To Finish
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tsp sesame seeds
Optional But Dangerous
Ranch Dressing
Blue cheese dip
Lime wedges

Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Pat the wings completely dry with kitchen paper.
Place them into a large bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and
cracked black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until every wing is evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
Cook for 22–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is deeply golden and beautifully crisp.
Meanwhile, whisk together the BBQ sauce, sweet chilli sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider
vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chilli flakes.
Transfer the cooked wings into a large bowl and pour over the glaze.
Toss thoroughly until every wing is coated.
Return the wings to the air fryer for a final 3–4 minutes until the glaze bubbles, thickens, and caramelises
around the edges.
Finish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, lime wedges, or pickled jalapeños if using.
