Ingredients 

Chicken Ingredients:

  • pound of chicken wings
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder.
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed in 2 tablespoons of water
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Mix the chicken ingredients, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 180-degree C / 350-degrees F, air fryer setting.
  • Brush the basket with little olive oil and put the chicken wings in it (7-8 per batch)—brush olive oil on the top of the wings.
  • Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then turn the chicken wings and cook for another 7-8 minutes or golden brown. Repeat with other chicken wings.
  • Next, mix all the sauce ingredients, Thai sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili flakes, black pepper, minced garlic, Hoisin Sauce, cornstarch, and water. Heat a pan and add the sauce.
  • Mix until the sauce thickens and becomes a little sticky.
  • Add the air-fried chicken wings and toss them to coat properly.
  • Serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro and red chili flakes (You can also use sesame seeds and green onions for garnishing).
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

STORAGE: You can store the sweet chili chicken wings in an airtight container for 3 days in the refrigerator or around 2 months in the freezer.
Tips:
  • Dry the chicken wings using a paper towel to remove excess liquids.
  • Let the cooked chicken rest for about 5 minutes before tossing them in the sauce. Doing so will help the chicken to stay crispy.
