Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Chopped green onions for garnish
• Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until wings are evenly coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until wings are golden and crispy.
4. While the wings are cooking, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey garlic glaze over them. Toss until wings are well coated.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
