Ingredients

  • 2-2½ lb chicken wings (900g-1.2kg)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (7g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules (3g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules (2g)
  • 1 teaspoon parsley (5g)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (2g)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried ginger (0.5g)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (2g)
  • 1½ teaspoon pink salt (9g)
  • ¼ teaspoon hot sauce (1g)
  • 1 tablespoon soya sauce (18g)
  • 2 tablespoon agave nectar (42g)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil (42g)
  • water (if needed)

Instructions

  • Combine the smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion, granules, parsley, thyme, ginger, black pepper and pink salt in a small bowl.
  • In another bowl, add the agave nectar, soy(a) sauce, hot sauce and olive oil and mix.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients bowl to create a wet rub (add water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to thin out the paste) .
  • Place the wings in a large ziplock/sealable bag then pour in the wet rub.
  • Seal the bag, then shake and massage the bag to thoroughly coat the wings.
  • Preheat the air fryer.
  • Remove the wings from the bag(reserve the residue from the bag) then place in the air fryer basket (you can put them on a liner if you want to). You may need to cook them in batches.
  • Air fry for 20 minutes at 190C/374F turning them over half way through.
  • 3 minutes before the finishing time, flip the wings over again and coat with the residue liquid from the bag.
  • Continue to air fry the wings for the remaining 3 minutes.

Notes

    • You can add more hot sauce or omit it altogther, if needed.
    • Serve the wings immediately or re-heat them in the air fryer so they become crispy again.
    • These wings are not freezer friendly.
    • Air fryers vary so temperature and cooking time may differ.
    • I used 2lb of chicken wings which serves up to 4 people.
    • You can leave the wings to rest/marinate overnight but it is okay to air fry them immediately.
