Prepare the wings by removing the tips and cutting at the joint to separate drumettes and flats. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with 1 tablespoon baking powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
Place the wings in a single layer in the air-fryer basket (work in batches if necessary for a single layer).
Air-fry at 375°F for 25 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the wings halfway through.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 420°F (or the highest setting) and cook 5 minutes more, or until the skin is deep golden and crispy.
Make the garlic Parmesan sauce: melt 1/4 cup butter in a small pan, cook the minced garlic briefly until fragrant, then remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
Make the buffalo sauce: melt 1/4 cup butter with the garlic (or warm melted butter and garlic), then pour into a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup hot sauce, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, and salt to taste.
Make the honey BBQ sauce: combine 1 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 2 tsp Sriracha (optional) in a small saucepan and simmer briefly to meld flavors, then transfer to a bowl.
When wings are done, immediately toss them in your chosen sauce until evenly coated.
