Air-Fryer Chipotle Lime Chicken Wings preparation stage

You’ll Need

1kg chicken wings
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Chipotle Lime Glaze
2 tbsp chipotle sauce or chipotle paste
2 tbsp honey
Juice of 1 lime
Zest of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1 tsp smoked paprika

To Finish
Fresh coriander
Lime wedges

Optional but Dangerous
Ranch dip
Jalapeños
Hot sauce
Corn chips

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Pat the wings dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.

Toss the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 200°C for 22–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp.

While the wings cook, mix together the chipotle sauce, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and smoked paprika.

Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl.

Pour over the glaze and toss thoroughly.

Return to the air fryer for 2–3 minutes until sticky and lightly caramelised.

Finish with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

Serve immediately while hot and gloriously messy.

Lad Tip: Lime is not optional here. The smoke and chilli do the heavy lifting, but the lime is what stops the whole thing becoming a one-note flavour bomb. Use the zest as well. That's where half the magic lives.
