Equipment

Ingredients

⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound chicken wings
sesame seeds optional garnish
red chili flakes optional garnish
chopped green onions optional garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup soy sauce, ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar, 2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce, 1 Tablespoon sesame oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
Remove half of the marinade and pour into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Keep the marinade in an airtight covered container in the refrigerator until ready to make the wings.
To the first bowl of marinade, add 1 pound chicken wings. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours up to overnight.
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350° F /180°C.
Put 6-7 chicken wings in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes on one side then turn the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes or until nicely browned.
Repeat with the rest of the chicken wings.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add reserved marinade. Simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
To serve, drizzle the sauce over the air-fried chicken wings. Optional garnish with sesame seeds, chili flakes, and chopped green onions.
