How to Make Crispy Asian Air Fryer Wings

  1. Prepare the Wings
    Pat the chicken wings completely dry. This step is key for maximum crispiness.

    In a large bowl, toss wings with cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.

  3. Air Fry
    Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange wings in a single layer.
    Air fry for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  4. Make the Glaze
    While wings cook, heat soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and chili sauce in a small pan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Coat the Wings
    Toss hot wings in the glaze until evenly coated.

  6. Garnish & Serve
