Tips:
Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel before seasoning them. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you do, the chicken wings won't cook evenly and may become soggy.
If your air fryer has a wire rack, use it to cook the chicken wings. This will help them cook more evenly and allow the excess fat to drip off.
To get a really crispy skin, you can spray the chicken wings with cooking spray before cooking them in the air fryer.
Make sure to let the chicken wings rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the wings more tender.
You can adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to suit your taste. If you like your wings sweeter, add more honey. If you like them saltier, add more soy sauce.
