Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup (375ml) coca-cola
  • 1 cup (235g) ketchup
  • 1 cup (213g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce or regular soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 pounds (907g) chicken wings cut into drumettes and wings

Instructions

  • Add the coke, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, lime, mustard powder, paprika and garlic powder into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens to almost the consistency of ketchup.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375F / 190C, pat the chicken wings dry, add half into the air fryer basket and cook for 9 minutes, turning them halfway through. Then remove and repeat with the remaining wings.
  • Coat the partly-cooked wings with the sauce, add half of them back into the air fryer basket, and cook for 9-12 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Repeat with the remaining wings. Then serve and enjoy.

Notes

Budget Friendly Tips

  • Save money by buying whole wings and cutting them yourself.
  • If you have freezer space, stock up on wings when they are on sale.

Meal Prep

  • This recipe stores for 4 days so you can eat it on the day you cook it plus four more days.
  • Separate leftovers into individual servings, place them into airtight meal prep containers, and let cool completely with the lids off.
  • When cool, close them and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating the chicken wings in air fryer is the best method, as the chicken can get rubbery when reheated in the microwave.
  • To vary it up through the week, feel free to serve with leftovers like cooked rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, salad, and more.
