They’re made in the air fryer, so you get all the crispy goodness without the deep-frying mess! Let’s dive in!
Method
1. Marinate the Chicken
First, gather a large mixing bowl and place the chicken wings inside. Add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Give everything a good toss to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Next, add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch. This will help achieve that crispy exterior. Toss the wings again, making sure they are coated all over, but don’t overdo it shake off any excess cornstarch. This step is crucial because it will ensure the wings crisp up perfectly in the air fryer.
2. Cook the Wings
Once the wings are marinated, it’s time to cook them in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add the chicken wings in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. This helps them cook evenly and get that perfect crisp. Air fry the wings for 16-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. After 16-20 minutes, when the wings are golden and crispy, increase the temperature to 200°C. Continue cooking the wings for an additional 5-7 minutes to get that final crisp and ensure the chicken is cooked through.
3. Make the Miso Garlic Sauce
While the wings are cooking, you can start making the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and itsu miso’easy. Stir them together until fully combined into a smooth paste. Taste the mixture and, if you desire a stronger miso flavor, feel free to add more miso to your liking. This is the base of your sauce and will give the wings their rich umami flavor.
4. Prepare the Garlic and Honey Mixture
Now, heat a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, melt the miso butter mixture from step 3. Add the minced garlic to the pan, and cook it for 1-2 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn. You want it to become fragrant and slightly golden brown but not bitter. As the garlic cooks, drizzle a small amount of honey into the pan, stirring it into the sauce. This adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the savory miso and garlic flavors.
5. Coat the Wings with the Sauce
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic miso sauce over the wings. Use a spoon or tongs to toss the wings gently, making sure they are evenly coated in the sauce. The wings should be completely covered in that beautiful, flavorful miso garlic glaze. Finally, sprinkle a handful of chopped coriander and freshly grated parmesan cheese over the wings to add even more flavor and a touch of freshness. Toss again to mix everything together.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Plate your wings and give them an extra sprinkle of parmesan if you like. Serve them up hot and enjoy these crispy, savory, umami-packed wings! You can even add a side of dipping sauce if you prefer, like creamy ranch or tangy blue cheese.
