👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Pat wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings with oil, salt, pepper, and baking powder until evenly coated.
2
Whisk together marinade ingredients (light soy, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, five-spice, minced garlic, grated ginger) and add wings. Marinate 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated.
3
Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Arrange wings in a single layer with space between pieces.
4
Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 18 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway, until skin is golden and juices run clear. Adjust time by a few minutes as needed.
5
While wings cook, combine glaze ingredients (hoisin, dark soy, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic) in a small saucepan and warm briefly until glossy. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity.
6
Toss partially cooked wings in the glaze to coat, then return to air fryer at 400°F (205°C) for 3–5 minutes to caramelize, watching closely to avoid burning.
7
Transfer wings to a platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions, and serve hot.

Pro Tips

For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy. If using frozen wings, add 6–8 minutes to cook time and ensure internal temp reaches 165°F. Store cooked wings up to 3 days in fridge; reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 4–6 minutes to re-crisp.
