The best part? We’re making them in the air fryer, so you get that perfect golden crispiness without the mess (or guilt!) of deep frying. Therefore, using a few simple ingredients you can whip up restaurant-quality wings right in your kitchen.

In this recipe, I’ll walk you through an easy marinade bursting with authentic Chinese-inspired flavours like soy sauce, garlic, and a hint of sweetness. Plus, the air fryer ensures the wings cook evenly, leaving you with juicy, tender meat and a crispy outer layer.

Ingredients

  

Chinese Marinade

• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honest
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 1/2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1/2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• 1/4 cup Tomato ketchup
• 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp Garlic granules
• 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp Chinese five spice

Ingredients

• 10 Chicken wings
• 4 Spring onions (chopped)
• 1 Red chili (sliced)
• Sesame seeds (optional)
• Dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

 

• Preheat the air fryer to 200℃. Add the lemon juice, light soy, honey, mirin, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, tomato ketchup, sesame oil, garlic granules, ground ginger and Chinese five spice to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until well coated. (Ideally marinade in the fridge for as long as possible if you can but it's not essential)
• Add the chicken wings to the air fryer and cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and crispy. Meanwhile, heat any leftover marinade gently on low in a saucepan to warm through. Remove the chicken and toss in the leftover sauce. Top with spring onions, red chili and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and dried parsley, if using, and enjoy.
