Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1½ lbs chicken wings
- 3 tbsp Potato Starch or cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
For the Sauce
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- ¾ tsp coarse black pepper
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
- Mix together the potato starch, garlic powder, and onion powder before pouring the mixture onto the chicken wings. Mix until the wings are coated.
- Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer.
- Air fry at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping at the halfway point.
- 3 minutes before the chicken wings are finished, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, rice wine vinegar, black pepper, and water to a pan over medium-heat. Allow it to bubble, stirring throughout. The sauce will not be super thick but still be runny.
- When the wings are done, remove the sauce from the heat and toss the wings in the sauce until coated.

Notes
- ½
- This makes 2 servings if you're eating them as a main or 3 to 4 servings as an app.
- Feel free to double or triple the recipe. The sauce is just enough for 1½lbs of wings so be sure to scale up the sauce as well.
