• total time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

2 lbs chicken wings

1/3 cup bourbon

1/4 cup pickle juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For Finishing:

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp honey

Directions

Prepare the Marinade:

In a large bowl, mix bourbon, pickle juice, garlic, olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, fresh thyme, and rosemary.

Marinate the Wings:

Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

Cook the Wings in the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Remove the wings from the marinade and pat them dry. Discard the marinade.

Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding).

Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

Finish the Wings:

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce and honey. Once the wings are done cooking, toss them in the butter mixture.

Garnish:

Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
