Main Ingredients- 2 packs chicken wings (approx. 500-600g)
- 1 cup milk (for tenderizing and removing odor, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making delicious homemade soy-glazed chicken wings, perfect as a snack or late-night treat. We’ll be using an air fryer for that irresistible crispy exterior and tender interior.
Step 2
First, rinse the chicken wings thoroughly under cold running water several times. Then, to help tenderize the meat and remove any gamey smell, soak them in milk for at least 10 minutes. (If you don’t have milk, you can skip this step or soak them in rice water.) After soaking, drain the milk and pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Place the dried chicken wings in a mixing bowl. Add all the glaze ingredients: 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (or Mirin), a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of ginger powder, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Gently massage the marinade into the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld. (You don’t need to line the air fryer basket with parchment paper for this recipe.)
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer if necessary. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for a total of 20 minutes. Start by cooking for the first 10 minutes. Cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the wings, so keep an eye on them and adjust as needed. If you prefer them extra crispy, you can add an extra 1-2 minutes. After the initial 10 minutes, carefully flip the wings and cook for the remaining 10 minutes.
Step 5
Voilà! They look perfectly golden brown and delicious. The soy glaze has beautifully infused into the wings, resulting in crispy exteriors and juicy interiors. These soy-glazed chicken wings are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm for the best taste. They make a fantastic snack or a superb accompaniment to your favorite beverages!
