Air Fryer Miso-Honey Wings Recipe

Stuff You Need

• 2½ pounds chicken wings, cut at joints, wingtips removed
• ¾ teaspoon fine salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1½ tablespoons white miso paste
• 1¼ tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1½ teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Stuff to Know Before Air Frying

I prefer using whole chicken wings and trimming, but presplit wings work too—use 2 pounds to account for discarded wingtips.

This recipe was developed with an air fryer setting on my Oven. Some kitchen models require preheating, but the cook time provided works whether starting from a cold or preheated air fryer.

Prep the Wings

If using whole wings, separate them into flats and drumettes by cutting through the joint; discard the wing tips or save for stock. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Air-Fry the Wings

Arrange the wings in an even layer in the air-fryer basket (some overlap is fine). Air-fry at 400°F until golden brown and crisp, 18 to 24 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Make the Sauce

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, miso, honey, vinegar, and garlic until smooth.

Toss and Serve

Add the cooked wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Air Fryer Miso honey Wings

These miso honey wings are sweet, tangy, and deeply savory, with rich umami from white miso and a mellow garlic finish. A sprinkle of scallions and sesame seeds adds freshness and crunch to the sticky glaze.
