Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to create an aromatic and flavorful marinade.
- Season the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure each wing is evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor infusion.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Wings: Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy Chinese chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before marinating.
- You can add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade for a touch of sweetness.
- If your air fryer model is small, cook the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Always check the internal temperature of poultry to ensure it is safely cooked.
