Step 1

We prefer to buy whole chicken wings and butcher them ourselves, but you can also use presplit wings (though you'll need only 2 pounds to account for the discarded wingtips). This recipe was developed using a large air fryer. Some air-fryer models have preheating functions; the cook-time range in this recipe is intended to work with either a cold or preheated air fryer.

Step 2

Pat wings dry with paper towels and sprinkle with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange wings in even layer in air-fryer basket (wings will overlap). Place basket in air fryer and set temperature to 400 degrees. Cook until wings are golden brown and crisp, 18 to 24 minutes, flipping wings halfway through cooking.

Step 3

Whisk melted butter, chipotles and adobo sauce, lime zest, and honey in large bowl until smooth. Add wings and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle wings with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
