Ayo! Your girl’s back with another hot finger lickin’ good recipe. If you’re like me and can never resist a good batch of chicken wings then say no more – this is the recipe for you!

A week ago, a few of my followers on Instagram (if you haven’t, follow me @farahjeats :D) asked for healthier recipes. That’s when I realized that most of the recipes I’ve been sharing are not really the healthiest. LOL. So today’s recipe is a healthy-ish recipe but still full of flavor chicken wings that you can make without deep frying.. and still have it extra crispy!

The Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce

The sauce is everything you could ever ask for and uses only 4 ingredients! The heat comes from one of the most loved Asian hot sauce, Sriracha.

Fun fact: I HATED Sriracha when I first moved to the US. It was just really different than the hot/chili sauce that I’m used to back in Malaysia. But eventually it started to grow on me and is now one of my kitchen must haves. I love Sriracha for this because it has just the right amount of heat for most people and has that tangy flavor with just a hint of sweetness.

To balance that out, we are using honey. This turned out to be the perfect combo that leaves you drooling for more.

As you know (or don’t know), I am obsessed with garlic! So of course garlic is also an important component to this sauce. Instead of just using garlic powder like most sauces, I wanted a strong garlic taste. We are using real garlic that’s been sautéed in butter. You get a hit of delicious garlic with every bite and honestly, is there anything better? BRB, currently drooling while I’m typing this.

Air Fried Chicken Wings

We all know air fryers are now THE kitchen gadget. Almost everyone has one now and it is the healthier and more convenient option to your frying needs. I LOVE my air fryer and we use it so much that it broke. LOL. We have a new one now that I love even more. I highly recommend it!

Can you get wings that are just as crispy as the deep fried ones? Great news guys, gals, and non-binary pals, you definitely can!

A lot of people have shared their tips by using cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, etc. But just coating it with flour will give you the exact same crispy results without the powdery aftertaste. It’s as easy as that! I tried this once and was so impressed, I’m convinced this is the only and BEST way to air fry chicken wings.

Notes for The Best Spicy Garlic Honey Wings

  • Cooking Spray – You need to spray a layer of cooking oil to get that nice crispy chicken wings. That and the seasoned flour will make the chicken crisp up perfectly.
  • Garlic – Garlic is key for this recipe. Use as many as your heart desires! It’s also important not to burn the garlic, so cook on medium low heat for 4-5 minutes.
  • Letting it Cool – Make sure to let the chicken cool for at least 5 minutes before tossing it with the sauce. Otherwise, the sauce will separate.

Ingredients
  

  • 7 whole chicken wings (cut into drumettes and flats)
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp green onions

Others

  • Chili oil optional
  • sesame seeds optional – for garnish

Instructions
 

Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce

  • Melt butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat.
  • Once the butter melts, turn the heat down to medium low and add the minced garlic.
  • Sauté for 4-5 minutes making sure the garlic does not burn.
  • Turn the heat off and add the Sriracha, honey, salt and green onions. Stir until well combined.
  • Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder until well combined.

Chicken Wings

  • Coat every piece of the chicken wings with the seasoned flour.
  • Spray a thin layer of cooking spray at the bottom of the air fryer basket and place the wings skin down, making sure not to overcrowd and that the wings are not touching.
  • Spray the chicken wings with another layer of cooking spray and air fry it at 375 F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Once cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes before tossing it with the sauce.
  • Optional: Drizzle with chili oil for extra heat and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

*The cooking spray is important in order to get that crispiness from air frying.
*If you’re not a fan of Sriracha or don’t have it, feel free to substitute it with a hot sauce of your choice but adjust the other ingredients accordingly.

    Just tried it and the recipe is bang on!! Dry flour coating on chicken makes it super crispy in the airfryer. Loved the glaze too.. but I had to stop my children from eating off the fried chicken before glazing it with the sauce

      I don’t have an air fryer. Do you have a recipe on how to cook it in the pan or oven? Thanks!

        You can shallow fry the chicken or bake in an oven but best to use a baking rack so it will be crispy. If using an oven, try using rice flour instead. Try baking at 400 F until golden brown/crispy, flipping halfway.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
