Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (this will help make sure they crisp up in the air fryer).
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
Toss the wings in olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they begin to turn golden brown.
While the wings are cooking, whisk together chili garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, light brown sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small saucepan.
Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the wings are crispy and cooked through, toss them in the sauce until they are fully coated and place them back in the air fryer for 3 more minutes or until the sauce has caramelized.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
sesame seeds, green onion
Notes
Pat wings completely dry before cooking to help the seasoning stick and get the wings extra crispy.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket and work in batches if needed.
Sauce should be added after wings are crisp!
Watch carefully during the final cook to prevent them from burning.
Internal temperature of cooked chicken wings is 165°F.
