→ Coating
02 -
60 ml cornstarch
03 -
Oil spray for wings
→ Tso-Style Sauce
04 -
120 ml honey

120 ml low sodium soy sauce

60 ml unseasoned rice vinegar
08 -
30 ml Sriracha sauce
09 -
30 ml tomato paste
10 -
10 g fresh ginger, grated
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Lightly dust the chicken wings with cornstarch to ensure a crispy exterior.
02 -
Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spraying lightly with oil. Air fry at 182°C for 13 minutes, then turn wings and cook at 175°C for an additional 12 minutes. Adjust times based on fryer wattage.
03 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, place wings in one layer, spray with oil, and bake approximately 30 minutes until crisp.
04 -
Heat oil to 180°C and deep fry wings for 8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
05 -
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, Sriracha, tomato paste, and grated ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
06 -
Place the warm cooked wings into a large bowl, pour the prepared sauce over them, and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Adjust Sriracha quantity to match preferred heat intensity. Using low sodium soy sauce helps manage overall saltiness. Wings can be cooked using air fryer, oven, or deep fryer methods tailored to your equipment.
