Thoroughly pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. This step ensures the wings get crispy in the air fryer.

In a large bowl, toss the wings with a pinch of salt and pepper. You can also add a light dusting of baking powder (about 1 tablespoon for 2 pounds of wings) to enhance crispiness.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. This step ensures even cooking right from the start.

Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t touching or overcrowded (you may need to cook in batches).

Fry the wings at 380°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, then flip each wing over.

Increase the temperature to 400°F (205°C) and fry for another 10-12 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine ready-made General Tso's sauce (available at most grocery stores) with a splash of soy sauce, a spoonful of minced ginger, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if you desire extra heat.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside.

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the General Tso's sauce over the wings, tossing well to ensure they are evenly coated.

Serve the wings immediately while hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes or dips!
