Instructions
The crispy chicken wings:
- Set your air fryer to preheat at 180°C (356°F).
- Use paper towels to pat the wings' skin dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chicken powder and garlic powder. Add the chicken wings and toss them to evenly coat.
- Add cornstarch and baking powder to the bowl. Toss the chicken wings again to ensure even coating, and shake off any excess.
- Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air-fry the chicken wings for 15 minutes.
- Increase the temperature to 200°C (376°F), flip the wings, air fry them for other 10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
The fish sauce glaze:
- Heat a small saucepan and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant. Next, add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar into the saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 1 minute, thickening slightly.
- Add the butter and stir until it melts. Finally, add lime juice, chopped cilantro, and fresh chili to the sauce.
- After cooking the chicken wings, take them out of the air fryer and transfer them to a spacious mixing bowl. Drizzle the fish sauce glaze over the wings and toss them gently to ensure an even coating.
- Serve the chicken wings hot and enjoy!
