Crispy Air Fryer Chinese Chicken Wings Recipe

Introduction

These Air Fryer Chinese Chicken Wings are a delicious and easy way to enjoy crispy, flavorful wings with minimal effort. Infused with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, they pack a savory punch perfect for any appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Step 2: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the wings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.
3. Step 3: Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
4. Step 4: Remove the wings from the air fryer and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before marinating to remove excess moisture.
• Add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade for a touch of sweetness.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving to add texture and color.
• Use a premade stir-fry sauce for a different flavor twist.

Storage

Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
