Juicy Air Fryer Pineapple Glazed Wings
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings separated into drumettes and flats
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the wings
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is key to getting that crispy skin. Lightly spray them with cooking spray and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Step 2: Air fry the wings
- Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Step 3: Make the glaze
- While the wings are cooking, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Coat the wings
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the pineapple glaze over the wings and toss until each piece is beautifully coated and glossy.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
- Serve immediately while they’re hot and sticky. These wings are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer with napkins at the ready!
