Season the chicken wings with kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and paprika using gloved hands.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).

Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Cook the wings in the air fryer at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them every 7 minutes for even cooking.

Check the internal temperature of the wings, aiming for 175°F to 180°F for optimal texture and flavor.

While the wings are cooking, prepare the honey garlic sauce by mincing garlic and adding it to a small saucepan over medium-high heat with unsalted butter, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, and ginger powder.

Melt the butter and whisk all the sauce ingredients together, then remove from heat.

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey garlic sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.

Serve the wings on a platter.
