Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons lemongrass paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)

Equipment

  • GoWISE USA Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Toss the chicken wings with marinade ingredients. In a large bowl combine the red curry paste, lemongrass paste, fish sauce, and soy sauce together. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Drizzle cornstarch all over them and toss to coat the wings.
  2. Cook the chicken wings. Place the chicken wings in the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Air fry the chicken wings at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip them over and air fry for another 10 minutes, total of 20 minutes.
  3. Make the dipping sauce. In the meantime, add all the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until well combined. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt as needed.
  4. Garnish and serve. Garnish chicken wings with green onions and red chiles and serve chicken wings with coconut chili garlic sauce.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer for the best results.
  • Tip 2: Yes, you can freeze the marinated wings before cooking! Just place them in a freezer bag and they will keep for up to three months.
  • Tip 3: These wings pair wonderfully with a refreshing cucumber salad or sticky rice to balance out the bold flavors.
  • Tip 4: Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce based on your heat preference. If you like it milder, reduce the amount or substitute with a less spicy sauce.
  • Tip 5: Fresh herbs like cilantro can be added as a garnish for a fresh, herbaceous kick.
