- 2 pounds chicken wings - 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade) - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ginger powder - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 teaspoon sesame oil - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish) - 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish) I love making air fryer teriyaki chicken wings because they are easy and fun. The main ingredients are chicken wings, teriyaki sauce, and honey. You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce or make your own. I often choose homemade for a fresh taste. Honey adds a nice sweetness. The dry ingredients include garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. These spices give the wings a great flavor. Garlic powder adds depth, while ginger gives a nice zing. Black pepper brings a little heat. For the additional ingredients, I use soy sauce and sesame oil. Soy sauce adds umami flavor, and sesame oil gives a nutty aroma. You can garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for extra crunch and color. The wings look and taste amazing with these toppings. By using these simple ingredients, you can create a tasty meal. The air fryer makes the wings crispy without extra oil. This recipe is a favorite for dinner or a party. To start, gather your mixing bowl. Combine the following in the bowl: - 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ginger powder - 1 teaspoon sesame oil - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Whisk these ingredients together until they blend well. The honey adds a nice sweetness, while the soy sauce gives it saltiness. The garlic and ginger bring depth to the flavor. Next, grab your chicken wings. Toss the wings in the marinade. Make sure every wing gets a good coating. Afterward, cover the bowl and put it in the fridge. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a stronger flavor, you can leave them overnight. Now, it’s time to cook. First, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Once it’s hot, arrange the marinated wings in the basket. Make sure they lie in a single layer. This step helps them cook evenly. Cook the wings for 25 to 30 minutes. Remember to shake the basket halfway through. This action helps the wings crisp up nicely. When done, check that the wings hit an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra flavor, you can brush more teriyaki sauce on them and cook for another 5 minutes. After cooking, let the wings rest for a few minutes. Garnish them with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Now, they’re ready to enjoy! To make the best teriyaki chicken wings, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. If you pack too many wings in, they won’t cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed. I recommend setting your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Cook the wings for 25 to 30 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to help them cook evenly. For a burst of flavor, brush the wings with extra teriyaki sauce just before they finish cooking. This adds a nice glaze. You can also try adding optional spices. A touch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika can give a nice kick and depth to your wings. To get that perfect crispy skin, try a few techniques. First, make sure to pat the wings dry before marinating. This removes moisture. Then, shake the basket every so often while cooking. This helps the hot air circulate and crisp up the skin. Enjoy those tasty, crunchy wings! {{image_2}} To add heat to your teriyaki wings, try adding chili sauce or red pepper flakes. Just mix a teaspoon or two into your marinade. This small change makes a big impact. You can control the spice level based on your taste. A bit more heat can take your wings to the next level! You can switch up the flavors by using different sauces. Try using sweet chili sauce or hoisin sauce instead of teriyaki. Both options will give your wings a unique twist. You can also add citrus juices for a fresh taste. Lemon or lime juice can brighten the flavor profile. When serving your teriyaki wings, think about pairing them with tasty side dishes. Rice or quinoa makes great companions. You can also serve them with a refreshing cucumber salad. For dipping, consider soy sauce or a spicy mayo. These sides enhance the meal and make it even more enjoyable. To store leftover wings, first let them cool down. Place them in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them. Wrap each wing in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. This method helps keep them fresh and tasty. When you are ready to eat those wings again, reheat them in the air fryer. Set it to 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. This method keeps the wings crispy. Check them halfway through and shake the basket for even heat. You can also reheat them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes. Cooked chicken wings can stay fresh in the fridge for about three days. If you freeze them, they stay good for about three months. After that, they might lose flavor and texture. Always check for signs of spoilage before eating. I recommend marinating the wings for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, let them sit overnight. This helps the flavors soak in well. A longer marination gives a deeper taste. Yes, you can use frozen wings. Cook them straight from the freezer. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. You will need about 30-35 minutes total at 380°F (190°C). Make sure to check the internal temperature before serving. The safe internal temperature for chicken wings is 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check this. This ensures your wings are safe to eat and perfectly cooked. You've learned how to make tasty teriyaki chicken wings. We covered key ingredients, from chicken to spices. I showed you how to prepare, marinate, and cook them in an air fryer. Tips for crunch and flavor enhancements will help you impress your guests.

Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

    Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the marinade. Ensure each wing is coated evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for deeper flavor).

      Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

          Cook the wings in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.

            Once cooked, check that the wings have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If desired, brush extra teriyaki sauce on the wings and cook for an additional 5 minutes for extra flavor.

              Remove the wings from the fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.

                Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
