Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken wings

Marinade

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp soy sauce optional gluten free Tamari Sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp potato starch

Crust for Chicken

  • ¾ cup potato starch

Honey Glaze

  • ¼ cup soy sauce optional gluten free Tamari Sauce
  • ½ cup sake or white wine
  • ½ cup brown sugar no need to pack the brown sugar
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

Marinade

  • Mix minced garlic, black pepper, salt, baking soda, egg white, and potato starch in a flat, small baking dish or ceramic pan. Coat wings in the mixture and allow to soak for an hour.

Coat Chicken

  • Place a layer of potato starch on a plate. Coat each chicken wing in the potato starch and place it back in the marinade. Then repeat and coat the chicken wings in the potato starch. If you need fresh starch, pour more on the plate.

Make Sauce

  • Mix soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove.
  • In a small bowl, add cornstarch and water and mix thoroughly.
  • Cook sauce on low to medium heat. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened, about a minute. Once it boils, it thickens at the same time. Set aside for later

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

  • Place chicken pieces in a single layer in an air fryer. Spray cooking oil on both sides of the wings.
  • Cook in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 360 degrees. Halfway through, flip the wings and spray with oil if they look dry.
    After 10 minutes, take the wings out of the air fryer basket and place them on a plate.
  • Place tin foil in the basket and place chicken wings on the tin foil. Coat the wings with the honey glaze and bake at high heat at 390 degrees for 3 minutes.
    Flip and cover with sauce and cook another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and sticky.
