Sticky glazed chicken wings with a buttery sauce of honey, Worcestershire, soy and two kinds of chili. The air fryer makes the skin beautifully crisp with no added oil, and the glaze caramelises in minutes. Finger-licking party food that is dangerously easy.

What you'll need.

For the wings

1 kg (2 lb) chicken wings
Your favourite chicken seasoning
Meat seasoning
Salt and pepper

For the glaze

Butter
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce

How to make it.

Toss the wings with both seasonings, salt and pepper. Do not add any oil.
Air fry for 8 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
Meanwhile, melt the butter and stir in the hot chili sauce, Worcestershire, honey, sweet chili and soy sauce.
Pour the glaze over the wings and toss to coat.
Air fry for another 8 minutes at 200°C (400°F) until sticky and caramelised.

My tips.

Skipping the oil is the trick: the wings crisp in their own fat at the high temperature. Line the drawer under the basket with parchment, the dripping glaze burns easily.

Good to know.

Can I make them ahead?
Cook the first stage ahead, then glaze and finish the second stage just before serving.

Are they very spicy?
Mildly. Reduce the hot chili sauce or use only sweet chili for a gentler glaze.

What do I serve them with?
Fresh vegetable sticks and a cool sour cream or yoghurt dip.
