Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings raw, thawed (see notes 1 and 2)
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch (or ¼ cup flour, optional, see note 3)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Thai Sauce

  • 1 jalapeno pepper finely diced, seeds removed
  • ½ cup peach jam or flavor of choice
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Air Fryer

  • Pat your chicken wings dry. Toss them with the cornstarch (if using, see note), 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
    2 pounds chicken wings, 2 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping half way through. Make sure the wings are cooked through, registering 165°F.
  • While the wings are cooking, make the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients together in a small pot. Heat over medium heat.
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook 3-5 minutes until starting to thicken. Adjust sauce as desired to taste (if you want it spicier, add some ground cayenne pepper or hot sauce). The thickness of the sauce when warm will be the same when coating the hot wings, so cook until it is as thick as desired. Remove from heat.
  • Toss the wings with the sauce in a large bowl. Serve immediately.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 425℉. Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes until cooked through.
  • I find that baking the wings with the sauce, even the entire time, does not thicken the sauce well. I recommend heating the sauce in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat with the sauce and tossing the wings in it to coat and thicken once they are baked.

Grilling

  • Follow the same steps however preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through. Coat the wings with the sauce for the last 5-10 minutes (the heat will thicken the sauce).

Notes

  1. If using frozen raw wings, increase air fryer cooking time to approximately 30 minutes. (For baking, approximately 55 minutes and for grilling, approximately 30 minutes).
  2. If your wings are smaller or larger, you will need to adjust your cooking time. This recipe works for wings that are approximately 3 inches long. 
  3. The cornstarch is optional. It helps give a little crunchy crust to the wings.
To keep warm after cooking, place in foil covered container in the oven on a very low setting, 130 to 150F, for up to 90 minutes.
One pound of average sized wings is approximately 6 wings.
