Ingredients
MARINADE:
- 4 tablespoons fish sauce
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 2 pounds chicken wings pat dry
FLOUR MIXTURE:
- 1/2 cup potato starch or cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 garlic cloves minced & divided in half (4 cloves for sauce; 4 for garlic crisps)
- 3 tablespoons water
GARNISHES (OPTIONAL):
- Garlic crisps
- cilantro roughly chopped
- green onions thinly sliced
- Thai red chilies thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a Ziplock or airtight container, mix together the fish sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, & oil until sugar has dissolved. Add chicken wings, massage marinade into wings, & marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
- In a Ziplock bag, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder until well combined. Add chicken wings, shaking off excess marinade & reserving marinade. Shake bag until wings are well coated, then allow wings to sit for about 5 minutes to better stick to the wings.
- In the meantime, preheat air fryer to 360° F then lightly brush air fryer rack with oil to prevent sticking. Lay chicken wings in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Spray or brush wings with neutral oil, then cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In the meantime, heat a small saucepan on medium-low with about 2 tablespoons of oil. Add half of the garlic & fry for about 2 minutes or until lightly golden, stirring frequently. Keep an eye on the garlic & don’t step away because it can quickly burn. Once they’re lightly golden, keep in mind the garlic will continue to turn slightly darker in color after removing from the residual heat & you don’t want it to burn or turn bitter. Drain garlic & set aside.
- Add oil back to the pan & heat on medium heat. Add remaining garlic & saute for a few seconds until fragrant, then pour in marinade and water. Bring to a simmer & cook for about 10 minutes or it’s turned into a thick sticky glaze. Keep in mind the thicker the sauce, the more concentrated the flavor. If the sauce becomes too thick or salty, you can add a splash of water, then simmer to your desired consistency. Turn off heat & cover to keep warm.
- Increase air fryer heat to 390° F & spay a little more oil if you notice any dry spots. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until golden & cooked through (juices run clear or internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F).
- Toss together chicken wings & sauce until well coated. It may not look like enough sauce at first, but continue to mix & there should be enough for a thin glaze on the wings. Sprinkle on fried garlic & chopped cilantro, if desired, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Potato starch can be found at Asian markets, however, if you have trouble finding it, you can substitute it with cornstarch.
