Description
This air fryer chicken wings recipe delivers perfectly cooked, juicy wings with an irresistible sticky gochujang honey glaze. It’s a quick, high-protein weeknight meal that guarantees crispy skin every time, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings, patted dry and separated into pieces
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- 5 g (1 teaspoon) fine sea salt
- 2 g (1/2 teaspoon) freshly ground black pepper
- 60 g (1/4 cup) gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) honey
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) soy sauce (alcohol-free or tamari)
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) rice vinegar
- 10 g (2 cloves) garlic, minced
- 5 g (1 teaspoon) fresh ginger, grated
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) toasted sesame oil
- 5 g (1 tablespoon) toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish
- 10 g (2 tablespoons) green scallions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Wings: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Dry the chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels. Toss the dried wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Air Fry for Crispy Skin: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Prepare Glaze: While the wings cook, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Thicken Glaze: Simmer the glaze over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened and able to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
- Coat and Serve: Transfer the cooked, crispy wings to a large bowl. Pour the prepared gochujang honey glaze over the wings and toss vigorously until every piece is coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
Notes
Drying the wings thoroughly and cooking in single batches are crucial for maximum crispness. The glaze can be made ahead and stored for up to 3 days; reheat before tossing with freshly cooked wings. For less heat, reduce the gochujang and increase honey to taste.
