Ingredients
  

Sweet Chili Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar unseasoned
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 tsp Cornstarch or Xanthan Gum
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Chili Sauce add up to 1 tbsp more for extra kick
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil

Oven Fried Wings

  • 1.5 lb Chicken Wings about 20 wing parts
  • 1.5 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions
 

  • Remove the chicken wing parts from the refrigerator and pat dry (removing as much moisture as possible helps to have a crispy wing skin)

  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the wings and toss the wings to coat

For Crispy Wings in the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  • Place wings on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet or a baking sheet with a cooling rack.
  • Cook the wings in the oven for 25-30 minutes per side.

For Crispy Wings in the Air Fryer

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees if required by your air fryer model.
  • Place the wings in a single layer in your air fryer basket
  • Air fry at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes per side.

For the Sauce:

  • Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until they are incorporated.
  • Heat a sauce pan to medium heat. Cook the sauce uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Toss the wings in the sauce and serve immediately.
