Embrace the delightful blend of sweet and savory with these Air Fried Candied Yam Flavored Wings. Perfect for a game day snack or a family dinner, these wings bring the essence of candied yams right to your taste buds in a crispy, delicious form.

Ingredients

🍗 1 lb chicken wings
🍠 ½ cup candied yam paste
🍯 2 tablespoons honey
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
🍊 Zest of 1 orange
🧂 Salt, to taste
🥄 1 tablespoon oil
🧈 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.

2- Marinate:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the candied yam paste, honey, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), orange zest, salt, and oil.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well to ensure each wing is evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge for the flavors to meld.

3- Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

4- Cook the Wings:

Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Air fry the wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.

5- Glaze the Wings:

While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl, pour the melted butter over the top, and toss to coat.

6- Serve:

Arrange the wings on a serving platter and serve hot. Enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors reminiscent of your favorite holiday side dish, candied yams!
