Ingredients

🐔 2 pounds chicken wings
🫘 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
🧂 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme
🍼 2 tablespoons olive oil
🍯 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
🌶️ 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
🍯 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and olive oil. Toss the wings until evenly coated with the spices and oil.

2- Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

3- Cook the Wings:

• Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding. This will ensure they cook evenly.
• Air fry for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

4- Prepare the Glaze:

• While the wings are cooking, prepare the BBQ glaze. In a medium saucepan, mix the BBQ sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Heat over low until the sauce is warmed through and well combined.

5- Glaze the Wings:

• Once the wings are done, place them in a large bowl. Pour the prepared BBQ glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.

6- Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as a mixed green Caesar salad and a baked potato.
