Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken wings tips removed and split
  • 1 tsp baking powder not baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

Method
 

  1. Pat wings dry and toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, and oil until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange wings in a single layer; work in batches if needed.
  3. Cook 10 minutes, flip, then cook another 8–10 minutes until crisp and internal temp reaches 165°F.

  5. Toss hot wings in the glaze until sticky, then garnish and serve immediately.
