Ingredients

🍗 2 pounds chicken wings
🥄 3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
🌿 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🫙 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🥄 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
🥣 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
🎇 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

• Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.

2- Marinate:

• In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, Tabasco sauce, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
• Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to soak up all the flavors.

3- Coat with Cornstarch:

• Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated wings and toss until evenly coated. This step helps create an extra crispy exterior.

4- Air Fry:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Carefully arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
• Cook the wings for 10-12 minutes, then flip them and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

5- Prepare the Sauce:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add an additional tablespoon of Tabasco sauce to the melted butter and mix well.

6- Finish the Wings:

• Toss the hot, crispy wings in the butter-Tabasco mixture until well-coated.

7- Serve:

• Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
