Ingredients

  • 6 chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Finely sliced spring onion/scallion, to garnish

GLAZE

  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper paste)

Instructions

1. Select Air Fry and set the temperature to 200°C/400°F and time to 15 minutes.

2. Toss the chicken wings in the oil, then season with a little salt and pepper. Add these to the preheated air-fryer and air-fry for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the glaze ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until reduced and the alcohol has burnt off. You’ll know it is ready when you can stir the thickened glaze and you momentarily see the base of the pan.
