<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Pat the chicken wings completely dry with kitchen paper - this is crucial for achieving that crispy skin we're after. Place them in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with vegetable oil, then sprinkle over the garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together with your hands, making sure each wing is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes. While it's heating up, let's make our teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth - this creates a slurry that will thicken our sauce beautifully. Pour this into the simmering teriyaki mixture and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure they're not overcrowded - you might need to cook in two batches depending on your air fryer size. Cook at 200°C for 12 minutes, then carefully flip each wing using tongs.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Continue cooking for another 8 minutes until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C when checked with a meat thermometer. The skin should be beautifully crispy and the wings should have a lovely golden color all over.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Remove the wings from the air fryer and immediately brush them generously with the teriyaki sauce using a silicone brush. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies - don't be shy with that gorgeous glaze! Return the glazed wings to the air fryer for 2 more minutes to caramelize the sauce.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Transfer the wings to a serving platter and brush with any remaining teriyaki sauce for that extra glossy finish. Sprinkle over the sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation and added texture. Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy!</li></ol>
FAQ for
Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Wings Recipe

How long do chicken wings take to cook in an air fryer?

Chicken wings take 20 minutes total in an air fryer at 200°C - cook for 12 minutes, flip, then 8 more minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 74°C and are golden brown.

Can I make teriyaki sauce from scratch for air fryer wings?

Yes! Combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a pan. Simmer until sugar dissolves, then add cornstarch slurry to thicken. This homemade sauce glazes perfectly on wings.

Do I need to preheat my air fryer before cooking wings?

Yes, preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes before adding the wings. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that crispy skin texture we want from air fried chicken wings.

What's the best way to get crispy skin on air fryer chicken wings?

Pat wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning - moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. Toss with oil and seasonings, then don't overcrowd the air fryer basket for best results.

Can I cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer with teriyaki glaze?

It's best to thaw wings first for even cooking and proper seasoning adhesion. Frozen wings won't get as crispy and the glaze won't stick as well. Thaw overnight in the fridge for best results.
