Description

These wings are your go-to for a quick, easy, and healthier option. Perfectly seasoned, air-fried to crispy perfection, and coated in a homemade sweet chili sauce that’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lot of delicious.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Wings:

  • 1.5-2 pounds chicken wings (drum/wing split)
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • olive oil spray

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F, add parchment sheet (optional).
  2. Clean chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour flour into a medium bowl. Then, lightly coat each piece of chicken with flour on all sides, shaking off excess.
  4. Add chicken to air fryer, spray with cooking oil. Cook for 6 minutes and spritz with additional cooking oil.
  5. Cook for an additional 5 minutes and then turn, spritz that side with cooking oil. Let cook for 5-7 additional minutes until crispy.
  6. While the wings are cooking, add all of the sauce ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a low boil. Stir for 3-4 minutes and set aside.
  7. After wings have cooked 15-17 minutes, remove them and brush them with sauce.
  8. Return to air fryer for an additional 4 mins (for a very crispy and sticky wing). Alternatively, you can skip that last fry time and toss the wings in the sauce
  9. Serve with leftover sauce and enjoy!
