- Use a good quality Korean BBQ sauce: The sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good one. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. It's a must-have tip when you make Korean BBQ Chicken anywhere, even in the air fryer.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: If you overcrowd the basket, the chicken wings will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each wing so that the air can circulate properly.
- Cook the chicken wings in batches: If you are making a large batch of chicken wings, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that all of the wings are cooked evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken wings should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the wing to get an accurate reading.
- Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Korean BBQ Chicken wings are traditionally served with a dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
