Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
