Ingredients

1 pound chicken wings 10-12 pieces

Teriyaki Sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
2 tablespoon s ketchup
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 garlic cloves minced
¼ inch-piece fresh ginger grated
⅛ teaspoon pepper ground

Instructions

Get your chicken wings ready. If you're using frozen ones, thaw them overnight. Then, pat the wings dry with paper towels. Optionally, you can season them lightly with cooking oil, salt and pepper for a crispier and tastier result.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
Once preheated, place the wingettes and drumettes in the air fryer and cook them for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway for even cooking. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or higher.
While the chicken wings are air frying, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, sugar, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, garlic cloves, ginger, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes until it thickens.
Coat the air fried chicken wings with the teriyaki sauce, tossing them until they are fully covered.
Finally, serve your crispy air fryer teriyaki chicken wings! Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top and enjoy!

Notes

For optimal results, it is recommended to use fresh chicken wings.
The best way to thaw your chicken wings is to leave them in the refrigerator overnight. Another effective method for thawing wings is to place them in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. It typically takes 2-4 hours for the wings to fully defrost.
We do not recommend defrosting them in the microwave as it may dry out the meat and potentially make it unsafe to eat.
If you air fry wings directly from frozen, it will have a dry texture and require a longer cooking time (additional 3-5 minutes).
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 5 minutes.
Preheating your air fryer and thawing your chicken wings properly will yield juicier results. Based on our tests, the longer you cook your chicken wings, the drier they will become.
It’s not ideal to wash your chicken wings as it may contaminate your kitchen.
Chicken wings are considered as white meat and should be cooked to a temperature of 165°F or 74°C or higher.
For a little extra crispness, toss with 1-2 tsp of high-heat cooking oil, such as canola or vegetable oil before air frying your wings.
It's ideal to add the honey garlic sauce after air frying. It can get burnt at high heat, and may even produce smoke.
If you want your wings to be stickier and a little saucier, start by making the sauce in a medium saucepan rather than a small one. Then, once the wings reach 160°F, transfer them to the medium saucepan and continue cooking there.
I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the teriyaki chicken wings air fryer recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings being prepared. For best results, start with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
