Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
- Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce if using.
- Marinate: Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry: Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the wings. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
