Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons sambal oelek chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 pounds chicken wings*
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
*Many wings come separated into flats and drumettes, but if only full wings are available, be sure to remove the tips and separate into two pieces.
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites until fragrant. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat until the liquid reduces by two-thirds and is slightly syrupy.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the fish sauce, sambal oelek, and lime juice. Let cool to room temperature (sauce will continue to thicken as it cools) and reserve.
- Arrange the chicken wings in the basket and sprinkle with the salt. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select the Wings preset, and press Start/Stop.
- When Toss Reminder sounds, toss the wings. Replace basket to finish cooking.
- Once the wings have finished cooking, transfer to a large bowl. Toss with the sauce, peanuts, and scallion greens. Serve immediately.
