Air Fryer Sweet Chili Wings

Cook Time22 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: air fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • 1/2 cup Thai-style sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Wings

  • Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the skin crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.

Step 2: Season Generously

  • In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until every piece is coated. This ensures each bite is packed with flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry to Crispy Perfection

  • Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and the meat is fully cooked.

Step 4: Glaze with Sweet Chili Goodness

  • In a clean large bowl, mix the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Add the hot, crispy wings and toss well until they’re fully coated in the sticky glaze.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Pile the wings onto a serving plate, sprinkle with optional garnishes like chopped green onions or sesame seeds, and serve immediately while they’re still sticky and warm.
