Directions
Directions
- Pat the chicken dry and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss until lightly coated.
- For the air fryer, cook at 400°F for 12–16 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned, crisp and cooked to 165°F internally. You can also bake it at 425°F for about 20–25 minutes.
- Add honey, hot sauce, butter, garlic, vinegar, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low for 2–3 minutes, stirring until glossy and combined. Don't let it boil hard.
- Toss the hot crispy chicken with enough glaze to coat each piece generously.
- Return the glazed chicken to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes at 400°F if you'd like the glaze extra sticky and caramelized.
Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining hot honey over the top.
