Air fryer chicken wings with honey and sesame

The key to cooking delicious, crispy chicken wings every time in an air fryer is to fry them in a mix of oil, cornflour and seasoning until their skins crisp before tossing them in a sticky glaze and cooking again briefly.

Ingredients:

  • 450–500g/1lb–1lb 2oz chicken wings with tips removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 large spring onion, thinly sliced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the chicken wings, olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss in the cornflour, a tablespoon at a time, until the wings are well coated.
  • Air-fry the chicken wings in a single layer for 25 minutes at 180C, turning halfway through the cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil in a large bowl.
  • Tip the cooked wings into the glaze, tossing until they’re well coated. Return to the air fryer in a single layer for 5 more minutes.
  • Toss the wings once more in any remaining glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion and serve.
