Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings
- 1.5 lbs chicken wings, cut into drumettes and flats, pat dry
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4-1/3 cup minced lemongrass, white parts only
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer if recommended in the manual.
- Place all ingredients for the chicken wings in a mixing bowl and mix to combine. If you have time, marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes (or several hours in the refrigerator). If not, it is fine to start cooking right away.
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket skin side up (without overlapping would be best). Cook at 350°F (or 180°C) for 15 minutes.
- When time is up, open the basket and flip the wings or shake the basket. Increase the temperature to 400°F (or 200°C) and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip or shake and continue to air fry for another 2-3 minutes or until the wings are crispy to your liking.
- While the wings are being cooked in step 4 above, prepare the sauce. Add oil to a saucepan or a deep pan over medium heat and sauté shallots until fragrant. Then add lemongrass and garlic, continue to sauté for about 2 minutes until lemongrass has reduced in volume and everything is fragrant.
- Add fish sauce to the saucepan and the mixture will sizzle. Turn off the heat, add honey and black pepper then stir to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- After finishing air frying the wings, toss them with the sauce and serve right away.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on air fryer brands and how many wings you cook and how large they are. I use a 220V Philips XXL air fryer. If your air fryer is less powerful, you may need to experiment and increase cooking time.
