- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp Shaoxing rice wine or Japanese mirin
- ¼ cup 30g all-purpose (plain) flour
- ½ tsp white pepper
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- Cooking oil spray
- 1 red chili thinly sliced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 2 green onions spring onions, thinly sliced
For the Dipping Sauce
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- ¼ cup 100g Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp mild curry powder
For Garnish
- 1-2 red chili peppers thinly sliced
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Set the air fryer to the "Air Crisp" function if yours has that, and set the temperature to 350°F/180°C and set the timer to 10 minutes. Press “Start” to preheat the unit.
- Place the chicken wings into a large bowl, and add the sesame oil and rice wine. Toss to cover. In a small bowl, combine the flour, white pepper, ground ginger, and some salt and black pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken wings and toss to evenly coat.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer you may have to work in batches. Spray the air fryer basket with some cooking spray, and arrange the chicken wings in a single layer. Spray with more cooking spray and cook for 10 minutes. If cooking in batches, tip the part-cooked chicken wings into a clean bowl, and cook the remaining wings.
- Add the sliced chili peppers and green onions to the bowl of part-cooked chicken wings and shake to coat.
- Add everything from the bowl back into the air-fryer and cook for 10-15 mins, until dark golden brown and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, place the ingredients for the dipping sauce into a bowl and whisk together. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken wings to a serving platter with a bowl of dipping sauce. Sprinkle over chopped chilies and green onion, serve, and enjoy!
