We love chicken wings around these parts and find ourselves making them more and more thanks to our Air Fryer. We’re always coming up with different sauces and rubs to put on them so it’s no surprise that honey mustard made the mix.

I originally made these wings for our New Years’ Eve celebration and hubby decided that these wings were so good that they deserved a page on the blog. I agreed so here they are.

How to make Honey Mustard Wings

First, you’ll need to cook your chicken wings. Now you can deep fry or bake your wings if you choose, but we love our air fryer for making chicken wings.

To Air Fry your wings, dry your chicken wings with paper towel and place your wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Cook on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes, until your wings have reached your desired crispiness. Set aside.

Meanwhile, Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

While your wings are cooking, make the sauce by combining mustard, honey, hot sauce, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine.

I bet you’re asking “Hey Yo, why the mayo?”

Mayo makes the sauce a little creamy and provides a little bit of tango that isn’t overpowering.

When you’re chicken wings are done, toss them in the sauce.

Now you can serve your wings exactly like this if you prefer, but I like to give them a little char by placing those wings back in the air fryer basket and cooking for an additional 2-5 minutes.

Then I toss them in the sauce again before serving to get them extra saucy.

And there you have it, Honey Mustard Wings!

Notes:

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still make these wings by baking or frying them first. You can follow this recipe as a guide for baking chicken wings in the oven or you can follow this one for deep-fried wings.
This honey mustard sauce is good on any part of the chicken.
