Air Fryer Asian Chicken Wings
Air Fryer Asian Chicken Wings feature wings marinated in a fragrant blend of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, sriracha, and then air-fried until crispy. The wings are brushed with leftover marinade converted into a glaze midway for a sticky, flavorful coating. Garnishes of green onions and sesame seeds add fresh, nutty notes. This method delivers wings with balanced sweet, savory, and mildly spicy flavors without deep frying.
