Combine soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a small saucepan.
Heat until it begins to simmer.
Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry to thicken the sauce. Add it to the simmering sauce and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly and is glossy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Toss chicken wings with baking powder.
Arrange in a single layer in air fryer basket. You may need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
Fry at 400°F. for 10 minutes, then shake or flip. Cook for 10 minutes more. Check internal temperature. If it's below 165°F. continue to cook for 5 minutes more.
Remove from air fryer, transfer to a bowl and toss with teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and or sliced green onions, if desired. Serve.
