Air fryer chicken wings are a quick way to get ultra crispy wings, but this version has a homemade stove top sweet chili sauce for those sticky sauce wing lovers!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
Sweet Chili Sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup fine diced onion
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes 1 tsp if you like things more spicy
- 1 lime juice and zest
Instructions
To prepare the Air Fryer Wings
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the wings in a bowl with salt, pepper, and baking powder.
- Spray your basket with a bit of oil so the skin doesn't stick to the basket.
- Lay the wings out in the air fryer basket so that they don't touch. You want the air to be able to circulate around each wing.
- Air Fry at 400°F for 7 minutes.
- Using tongs, flip each wing
- Cook for another 7 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the air fryer, and place into a medium bowl. Toss with sweet chili sauce and return to the airfryer for another 2-3 minutes so the sauce can caramelize a bit onto the wings.
To prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce
- In a small pot, heat the oil on medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic until well caramelized and lightly browned. Take care not to burn this.
- Add the remaining sauce ingredients and allow to simmer on low for 3-4 minutes or until desired thickness. The longer it cooks, the thicker the sauce will become.
