honey garlic wings with sauce

These wings are so delicious! I miss not being able to buy premade wings for days when I'm busy. I can find breaded gluten-free wings where I live, but I've not yet seen gluten-free wings in sauce. Here is where my air fryer has made my life easier, it is very convenient for making wings. Of course, you can make them in the oven too, and they turn out great.

This recipe is quick and tasty. It might look like there is not much sauce, but it does go a long way. You can double the sauce recipe if you like. You can play with the amounts of garlic and ginger to suit your tastes.

I definitely recommend napkins to wipe your sticky fingers!

For sides I usually serve wings with a salad or vegetable platter.



cooked wings before sauce

Here is what the wings looked like before adding the sauce. If some of your family don't like honey garlic sauce or you want to make a couple of different flavoured wings then you could add some seasonings to the potato starch mixture such as salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder. Then put some of the cooked wings to the side before coating the rest in sauce.

I buy my wings already cut into wingettes and drumettes. I find the wings easier to cook and eat when they have been divided up. Did you know there are actually three parts to a chicken wing? The part that looks like a mini-drumstick called the drumette, the flat part called the wingette, and the tip which is the pointy end that is usually cut off. When I discuss the number of wings I'm referring to the already cut up wing. In my area most wings are sold already cut up.

Gluten-Free Honey Garlic Wings

Ingredients
  • 16 - 20 wingettes and drumettes
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup of potato starch
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons gluten-free soya sauce
  • 4 - 5 spring onions, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds (optional)
Directions For Air Fryer
  1. Preheat air fryer at 380 Farenheit for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare wings by putting in a ziplock bag with the potato starch and shake until they are well coated.
  3. Shake off excess starch and put in the air fryer basket. Only do one layer and leave room between the wings. Cook for 12 minutes and then turn them over and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Check their crispyness. If needed turn the air fryer up to 400 Farenheit and cook for an extra 5 minutes. Note that I made mine in two batches. I kept the first batch warm by wrapping lightly in tin foil.
  4. I use a meat themometer to check if my wings are cooked. For chicken should be at least 165 Farenheit (74 celsius).
  5. While the wings are baking you can make the sauce.
  6. In a medium sauce pan put the butter, garlic, ginger and cook for a minute. Then add the honey and gluten-free soya sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir once and awhile. Set aside. When the wings are cooked toss them in the sauce.
  7. You can garnish with the spring onions (green onions) and/or sesame seeds if you like.
Directions For The Oven
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 Farenheit.
  2. Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper and spray with oil.
  3. Prepare wings by putting in a ziplock bag with the potato starch and shake until they are well coated.
  4. Shake off excess starch and put on the baking tray, leaving space between the wings. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes. Turn the wings halfway.
  5. I use a meat themometer to check if my wings are cooked. For chicken should be at least 165 Farenheit (74 celsius).
  6. While the wings are baking you can make the sauce.
  7. In a medium sauce pan put the butter, garlic, ginger and cook for a minute. Then add the honey and gluten-free soya sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir once and awhile. Set aside. When the wings are cooked toss them in the sauce.
