Succulent air fryer chicken wings cooked in a sticky sweet glaze of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and gochujang.
It takes just 15 minutes to cook these delicious Korean chicken wings in an air fryer using a handful of store cupboard ingredients. The main ingredient of the glaze is gochujang which is Korean red pepper paste and can be found in larger supermarkets or wholefood stores. These air fryer chicken wings are perfectly served with chips and homemade coleslaw.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- finely sliced spring onion, to garnish
For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 11/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unrefined sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)

Method
- Preheat the air-fryer to 200C/400F.
- Toss the chicken wings in the oil, then season with a little salt and pepper. Add these to the preheated air-fryer and air-fry for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the glaze ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until reduced and the alcohol has burnt off. You’ll know it is ready when you can stir the thickened glaze and you momentarily see the base of the pan.
- After 10 minutes, brush the reduced glaze onto the chicken wings and cook for a further 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the wings has reached at least 74C/ 165F using a meat thermometer – if not, cook for another few minutes. Serve sprinkled with spring onion.
