Air Fryer Orange Chicken Wings
Directions
- 1Start by cutting the chicken wings into drumettes and flats, if they aren’t already separated.
- 2Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels—this helps them crisp up in the air fryer.
- 3In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, dried garlic, black pepper, and a light dusting of flour.
- 4Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- 5Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for about 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- 6While the wings are air frying, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.
- 7Add the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, tomato paste (or ketchup), salt, dried garlic, and pepper to the pan.
- 8Stir well and let the glaze simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened and aromatic.
- 9Once the wings are done, transfer them directly into the pan with the hot citrus glaze.
- 10Mix everything gently but thoroughly for 1–2 minutes, allowing the wings to soak up the sauce and get beautifully coated.
- 11Serve warm, optionally with fresh herbs or dipping sauce on the side.
