Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs of chicken wings
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tbsp of honey
1 tsp of five-spice powder
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp of ginger, minced
1 tbsp of sesame oil
1/4 cup of green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 tbsp of sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water, patting them dry with paper towels. In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine the soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Add the chicken wings and ensure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let them marinate overnight to enhance the flavors.
While the chicken wings are marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the wings start cooking immediately, yielding that desired crispiness.
After the marinating process, remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the wings in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Cook the chicken wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides get that golden brown crunch. After 20 minutes, check if they are crispy enough for your liking; you can add an extra 5 minutes if necessary.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and garnish them with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
