Steps
In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
To cook in an Air Fryer: Preheat to 390°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)). Arrange wings in a single layer and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until very crispy.
To cook in an Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220 °C) (220°C (425 °F)). Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking tray (essential for crispiness). Bake for 40-45 minutes, or if no rack is used, flip the wings halfway through.
While the wings cook, prepare the sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the strawberry preserves, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, smoked paprika, cayenne, and brown sugar to the pot.
Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it becomes thick, glossy, and slightly reduced.
Immediately toss the hot, crispy wings in the strawberry sauce until thoroughly coated.
Plate the wings and garnish with fresh strawberries. Serve immediately with ranch dip.
Notes
For maximum crispiness, ensure the wings are patted dry before seasoning. The baking powder is a key ingredient for achieving a fried-like texture in the air fryer or oven.
