# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle cornstarch over the wings for that crispy finish.
02 -
Place wings flat in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with oil. Cook at 182°C for 13 minutes. Flip them and cook at 175°C for another 12 minutes. Times depend on your machine.
03 -
Set oven to 200°C. Put parchment or foil on a baking tray, lay wings in one layer, spray with oil, and bake for about 30 minutes until they're crispy.
04 -
Heat oil to 180°C and fry wings for about 8 minutes until golden and done all the way through.
05 -
Mix honey, Sriracha, tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a small pan. Let it simmer on medium for 8 to 10 minutes until it thickens enough to coat a wooden spoon.
06 -
Put the cooked warm wings in a big bowl. Pour sauce over and mix well so every wing gets coated.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Change the Sriracha amount to get the spice level you like. Going for low-salt soy sauce keeps things from getting too salty. Cook wings however you like – air fryer, oven, or deep fry works fine.
