Equipment

Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings

  • 1 lb / 500 g chicken wings split in 2 parts (about 8-10 pieces)
  • 1 tsp baking powder NOT baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Teriyaki Glaze

  • 1/3 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

Chicken Wings

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F/190°C.
  • Mix baking powder, salt and wings together in a large bowl or plastic bag.
  • Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 20-24 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

Teriyaki Glaze

  • In a small saucepan, on medium heat, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, vinegar and minced garlic together. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until mixture starts to thicken slightly. Make sure to stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  • Meanwhile mix together cornstarch and water together in small bowl.
  • Add the sesame seeds (if using) and the cornstarch mixture to the mixture in the saucepan. Stir to combine.
  • Bring mixture back to a simmer and let simmer until the texture of the glaze reaches that of a thick syrup then take off the heat.
  • Toss cooked chicken wings the teriyaki glaze.
  • (optional) Place chicken wings, coated in the teriyaki glaze, back in the air fryer. Cook at 400°F/200°C for another 2-3 minutes until wings are nice and sticky. (Note 1)
  • Serve chicken wings warm, with some extra sesame seeds for garnish if desired.

Notes

  1. Cooking the chicken wings after they are tossed with the teriyaki glaze is not required but I prefer to do it. It makes the wings really nice, sticky and helps the glaze stick to the wings better.
