Sweet and Spicy Soy Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken wings
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 0.5 tsp herb and garlic seasoning
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp garam masala
• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• green onion (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, herb and garlic seasoning, red pepper flakes, garam masala, white pepper, black pepper, salt, and baking powder.

2. 2

   Add the chicken wings to the large bowl and mix thoroughly so the marinade coats all the chicken. Let the wings sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate.

3. 3

   Lay the wings side by side in the air fryer basket, ideally using a wire rack to promote air circulation. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.

4. 4

   Air fry at 375°F to 390°F (190°C to 200°C) for 7-8 minutes per side, for a total cook time of about 15 minutes, until the wings are crispy and golden.

5. 5

   Garnish with sliced green onion and optionally serve with a side of gochujang hot sauce.

Notes

For the crispiest wings, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning. Baking powder helps draw out moisture to create a crackly skin. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in the air fryer at 375°F to maintain texture.
