Air Fryer Maple Wings

Yowsa. Now we’re talking about some seriously devour-worthy wings. These air fryer maple wings are beyond finger-lickingly good. As soon as I took my first bite I instantly regretted not making more wings and sauce. The wings are your standard air fryer wings. A little seasoning and cooked until the skin is crispy. The sauce, though, is the star of the show. The right sweetness. The right umami thing. And just a kiss of heat. These are great wings!

Step Up Your Teriyaki Game

You can use whatever teriyaki sauce you like to make these air fryer maple wings. But for me, my go-to teriyaki sauce is from the fine folks over at Bourbon Barrel Food. They have two versions actually. The Kentuckyaki sauce is a wonderfully bourbon-infused sauce that has such a great, deep flavor. It’s great anywhere I need a teriyaki sauce. And of course their spicy version is … spicier! It also makes for a great sauce for these wings!

Also try my Kentuckyaki wings!

Plucker’s Maple Chipotle Wings

Sometimes a wing sauce comes along that makes me re-think my choices for my all-time favorites. Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wings sauce is sooooo good that I instantly knew this one was rocketing to the top of my list. It’s the perfect combination of warm, sweet maple with just the right amount of smoky spiciness. It’s beyond finger-licking good, so much so that i’s flat-out drinkable right out of the bottle!

Plucker's Maple Chipotle Wings

Sweet. Smoky. A Just The Right Heat.

I really can’t get over just how much I love Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wings sauce. I’m going to have to order more because I know that this sauce will also be fantastic on any grilled pork dish. Chicken too, but a slab of grilled or smoked ribs slathered in this sauce would be amazing. Plus, I need some more sauce for my wings, too!

Remember that if you refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce to let it sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using. You don’t want to ‘shock’ hot, just-cooked wings with a cold sauce.
