Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 lbs | chicken wings |
| 1 tbsp | baking powder |
| 1 tbsp | salt |
| 2 tsp | black pepper |
| 1 tbsp | freshly grated orange zest |
| ½ cup | freshly squeezed orange juice |
| ¼ cup | barbeque sauce |
| 1 tbsp | Better Than Bouillon® Smoky Chipotle Base |
| 1 tbsp | freshly squeezed lemon juice |

Directions
In large bowl, toss chicken wings with baking powder, salt and black pepper until coated.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F according to manufacturer’s instructions.
In batches, arrange wings in greased air-fryer basket. Air-fry wings, flipping halfway through, for 15 to 16 minutes or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in small saucepan set over medium heat, stir together orange juice, barbecue sauce, Culinary Collection Smoky Chipotle Base, lemon juice and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low. Add butter and whisk until melted. Stir in orange zest.
In another large bowl, toss wings with orange-chipotle sauce until coated. Garnish with parsley.
Tips: Serve wings with veggie sticks and tzatziki sauce on the side if desired. A little bit of baking powder helps crisp up the wings in the air fryer.
