5 from 76 reviews

Deliciously crispy Chinese chicken wings made easy and quick using an air fryer. These wings are perfectly seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, creating a flavorful appetizer or snack with minimal oil and maximum crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a fragrant marinade that will infuse the chicken wings with classic Chinese flavors.
  2. Season the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 1 hour for deeper flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure a crispy finish.
  4. Air Fry the Wings: Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded to promote even cooking. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking to achieve an even, crispy exterior.
  5. Serve: Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish as desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, pat the wings dry before marinating to reduce moisture.
  • Adjust marinating time based on schedule; longer marinating intensifies flavor.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on air fryer model and wing size—check for internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure doneness.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to control salt intake.
