These addictive teriyaki wings are packed with flavor and perfect for a party or game day snack. The air fryer ensures they come out crispy and delicious.

Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken wings. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup water. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp grated ginger. 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. 2 tbsp honey. 2 tbsp rice vinegar. 2 tsp cornstarch. Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.

Instructions: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, honey, and rice vinegar to make the teriyaki sauce. Place the chicken wings in a large zip-top bag and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results. Preheat your air fryer to 380F 190C for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook the wings in the air fryer at 380F 190C for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are crispy and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165F 74C. While the wings are cooking, pour the remaining teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry, and then add it to the saucepan. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Once the wings are done, remove them from the air fryer and brush them with the thickened teriyaki sauce. Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve the addictive teriyaki wings hot and enjoy!
