Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Pounds chicken wings tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
For the Rub
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 2 Teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar dark
- 1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground mustard
For the Sauce
- 1 Cup ketchup
- 1 Cup peach preserves
- 1/3 Cup brown sugar
- 1/3 Cup bourbon or whiskey
- 2 Tablespoon molasses
- 1/4 Cup onion finely minced
- 1 Teaspoon garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 Teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
- Combine all the rub ingredients together and mix well. Toss the wings with the rub until thoroughly coated.
- Combine all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce in a saucepan and cook over medium heat till thick and caramelized. Stir often.
- Place the rub coated wings in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Spray well with non stick cooking spray or olive oil.
- Place in the air fryer and set for 370 degrees F for 10 minutes. When the time has finished, flip the chicken and spray the other side. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 8 minutes. Check for doneness and, if not thoroughly cooked, cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the air fryer and coat with the BBQ sauce. You may not need to use the entire sauce and you can store the extra sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve with celery and carrot sticks.
Notes
Pat the wings dry: Removing excess moisture helps the rub adhere and the skin crisp up.
Don’t overcrowd the basket: Airflow is key to crispy wings.
Use a thermometer: Check for an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure doneness.
