Ingredients you will need

• Chicken wing - You can use flats or the drumette, any part works for this recipe.
• Tapioca starch - The starch is used for coating the chicken and gives it that crispy coating.
• Onion/garlic granules, thyme, parsley, ginger, all purpose seasoning, chilli and pink salt - These are the herbs and spices that I'm using to flavour the chicken.
• Orange juice - This gives the wings that orange flavour.
• Coconut Sugar - The sugar gives the chicken wings that sweet edge.

The steps

• Coat the air basket with olive oil (you can use a liner instead) and set aside.
• Add the tapioca starch, all purpose seasoning, onion/garlic granules and pink salt to a ziplock or secure bag along with the chicken wings.
• Close the bag to secure it then shake it to thoroughly to coat the wings.
• Remove the wings from the bag, shaking off any excess starch.

• Place the wings in the basket, making sure there is some space between and being careful not to overcrowd them (you may need to do this in batches).
• Lightly spray the wings with oil.
• Set the air fryer to 190C/374F and cook for 20 minutes, turning the wings half way through.

• While the chicken is cooking prepare the glaze by adding all of the ingredients for the glaze to a medium sized saucepan.
• Simmer on medium heat, while stirring for 5-10 minutes until it slightly thickens then set aside to cool.
• Once the chicken has cooked, remove from the air fryer and place in the medium sized bowl.

• Pour half of the glaze onto the chicken (reserve the rest for a dipping sauce) and use the tongs to turn and thoroughly coat the wings (use a spoon if needed to baste the chicken/tilt the bowl).
• Return the chicken to the air fryer basket and increase the heat to 200C/400F for 3 minutes for a crispy coating.
• After the given time, remove from the air fryer and serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes and tips

• Make sure to wash and clean the chicken ahead of time, I adhere to the Caribbean custom of cleaning which you can refer with the post Meat Preparation - Why We Clean It and How to
• It is best to serve the chicken immediately or re-heat in the air fryer to maintain there crispiness.
