Air fryer chicken wings with honey and sesame

The key to cooking delicious, crispy chicken wings every time in an air fryer is to fry them in a mix of oil, cornflour and seasoning until their skins crisp before tossing them in a sticky glaze and cooking again briefly.

Ingredients

• 450–500g/1lb–1lb 2oz chicken wings with tips removed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tbsp runny honey
• 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 large spring onion, thinly sliced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken wings, olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss in the cornflour, a tablespoon at a time, until the wings are well coated.

2. Air-fry the chicken wings in a single layer for 25 minutes at 180C, turning halfway through the cooking time.

3. Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil in a large bowl.

4. Tip the cooked wings into the glaze, tossing until they’re well coated. Return to the air fryer in a single layer for 5 more minutes.

5. Toss the wings once more in any remaining glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion and serve.
