Chicken wings are a great option, because you can switch up the sauces, serve with so many dipping sauces and make them in bulk for leftovers. We opted for this Orange Soda Hot Sauce for a sweet and spicy snack.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken wings, cut in half at joint
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp baking powder, aluminum-free
- chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sauce: - 1 cup Orange soda
- 3 Tbsp hot sauce
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder to fully coat.
- Place the tossed chicken wings in your air fryer basket lined with perforated parchment paper (optional). Air fry at 360°F for 25 minutes.
- While you are waiting for your chicken wings to cook, prepare the sauce.
- In a medium saucepan bring the orange soda, hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, orange zest, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and cornstarch to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove your wings from the Air Fryer and toss with the prepared sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with your favorite veggies and dipping sauce!
