Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure the skin gets extra crispy.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While the wings cook, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, minced chipotle peppers, honey, and smoked paprika in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
Once the wings are finished, transfer them to a clean bowl and toss with the prepared chipotle BBQ sauce.
Optional: Return the sauced wings to the air fryer for 2 minutes to allow the glaze to become tacky and caramelized.
