Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
⅓ cup water
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chili sauce (such as Heinz®)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon water
¼ teaspoon cornstarch
1 green onion, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat the fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Whisk baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Place baking powder mixture in a bag, add some of the chicken wings, and shake the bag to coat. Remove wings from the bag, shaking off excess powder, and repeat until all wings are coated with baking powder mixture.
  • Lightly spray the wings with cooking spray, place in the prepared air fryer basket, and cook for 20 minutes, shaking and flipping the wings halfway through.

Bring to a low boil and cook until sauce has reduced, about 15 minutes. Whisk together 1 teaspoon water and cornstarch in a small bowl and pour into the sauce; stir until sauce has thickened.

  • Bake the wings at a high temperature (425°F) to quickly crisp the skin. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Make the balsamic glaze while the wings are baking. This allows the flavors to meld and thicken.
  • Toss the baked wings in the balsamic glaze immediately after they come out of the oven. This ensures that the glaze coats the wings evenly.
  • Serve the wings hot with additional balsamic glaze for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
