Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Wings

Why you’ll love this recipe

• This recipe uses an air fryer to achieve a shatteringly crisp skin without the mess and oil of traditional deep-frying.
• The chicken wings stay incredibly juicy thanks to baking powder that traps in the moist
• It’s a versatile protein that pairs perfectly with a thick sauce, my favorite is soy sauce

Key Ingredients

• Soy Sauce: Essential for that color and a hint of molasses-like sweetness
• Baking powder: When mixed with cornstarch, it traps the moist and holds up better in the air fryer.

✅Quick Tips: Pat the chicken dry before marinating; any excess moisture will steam rather than crisp, preventing that golden crunch.

Key Steps

• #1: Season and marinate all at once. Drizzle oil on top before air frying at 425F to activate the “frying” effect in the circulating air.

• #2: Flip halfway and brush with more oil to ensure no floury spots remain.
