# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken Wings
01 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
02 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
03 -
1-1/4 pounds chicken wing pieces (about a dozen)
04 -
1/3 cup cornstarch
→ Peri Peri Sauce
05 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
08 -
2 teaspoons ground peri peri pepper
09 -
2 tablespoons vinegar
10 -
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
11 -
3 tablespoons Louisiana-style cayenne pepper sauce
12 -
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Once the wings are hot, right away pop them in a big bowl. Throw in the peri peri sauce you made and toss till everything's coated nice and even. Dig in straight away.
02 -
Spread out your wings in one layer on the air fryer tray. Cook them at 390°F (199°C). Every ten minutes, flip them over. After 35 to 40 minutes, they should be crisp and browned all over.
03 -
Blot any wetness off the chicken parts. Dust them with black pepper and salt. Toss them in cornstarch until they're lightly covered—just shake off anything extra.
04 -
In a bowl, dump in the melted butter, cayenne pepper sauce, fresh lemon juice, vinegar, peri peri pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a bit of salt. Mix it up really well and leave it for later.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Wings come out even crunchier if you get them totally dry before rolling them in cornstarch.
