Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Air Fryer Honey Glazed Chicken  — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with a sweet sticky glaze.

 Air Fryer Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe

Ingredients (serves 3–4)

• 1 lb (450 g) chicken thighs or drumsticks, skin-on

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Honey Glaze:

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken

   • Pat chicken dry.

   • Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Preheat Air Fryer

   • Preheat to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

3. Cook Chicken

   • Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

   • Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Make Honey Glaze

   • While chicken cooks, mix honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.

   • Warm over low heat for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Glaze the Chicken

   • Toss cooked chicken in the warm honey glaze or brush generously.

   • Optional: air fry 2–3 more minutes after glazing for extra sticky coating.

6. Serve

   • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.

   • Serve with rice, steamed veggies, or salad.

If you want, I can also give a super crispy version where the glaze sticks perfectly without making the skin soggy — perfect for air fryers!
