Description

Enjoy crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Chinese Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings made with simple ingredients. These wings are perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, trimmed and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for spraying
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil, optional, for extra flavor

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy. If needed, cut the wings into sections (drumettes and flats).
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the wings in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry the wings at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Once the wings are cooked, drizzle with sesame oil (if using) and toss to coat. Garnish with sliced green onions.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili or soy sauce.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
