Wings – We’re using frozen chicken wing sections. No need to thaw before cooking!

Honey Mustard Ingredients – You will need mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, distilled vinegar, and cracked pepper to make this simple sauce. You could keep things even easier and use store bought sauce if preferred.

Did you know?

You can buy just chicken wing drums (one-bone pieces that look like chicken legs) or wingettes (the two-bone flatter piece)? This recipe will work if you go that route also! So pick your favorite pieces and enjoy!

How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken Wings:

Collage of the steps of cooking honey mustard chicken wings.
  • Air fry the chicken– Spritz your air fryer basket with oil and place your wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spritz a bit more oil onto the wings. Air fry for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip your wings halfway through cooking for the best results.
  • Make the honey mustard– While your chicken is cooking grab a small bowl and whisk together all the honey mustard ingredients. After the chicken is done, toss it in the bowl of honey mustard to coat, then plate and serve!

FAQ:

What is a good side dish to serve with honey mustard chicken wings?

French fries and corn both make great side dishes to any chicken recipe in my opinion. If you want something with less starch, perhaps you can go with some coleslaw!

How do I make my frozen wings more crispy in the air fryer?

If you aren’t getting crispy wings from your air fryer try spritzing them with oil again halfway through cooking when you flip them. It could also be that your air fryer is too crowded, try leaving more space between each of your pieces of chicken cooking in batches if needed.

Recipe Tips!

You may use store-bought honey mustard sauce, but we love this homemade version. It’s quick, simple, and so flavorful.

We like to serve these with both ranch and extra honey mustard for dipping.

This honey mustard recipe easily doubles or triples and the extra is perfect for dipping our air fryer frozen waffle fries!
