An easy-to-follow recipe for Air Fryer Thai Peanut Chicken Wings. These flavor-packed wings are air-fried to crispy perfection, then tossed with a slightly spicy homemade peanut sauce.
Toss the wings in a combination of baking powder, sea salt and pepper. Use a manual oil mister to lightly coat the air fryer basket with a thin layer or oil or if you use a liner, use a brush to add a thin layer of oil to the wings. Arrange them in your air fryer basket in a single layer so the air can circulate.
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F. for 3 minutes. Air fry for 10 minutes, then pause the air fryer, remove the basket and flip the wings over. Replace the basket and continue air frying for another 5 - 7 minutes or until the wings are crispy and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F. when measured with an instant-read meat thermometer. Air frying times will depend on the size of the wings and the type of air fryer you have.
While the wings are cooking, combine the ingredients for peanut sauce and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked wings in peanut sauce until lightly coated.
Arrange on a platter, then sprinkle the cooked wings with sesame seeds and garnish with snipped green onions or chopped cilantro, if desired. Offer extra peanut sauce in a small bowl for dipping.
Notes
Freeze them! To freeze cooked wings, lay them out on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, store them in an airtight container in the freezer.You can also make the sauce and freeze it separately, ready for a quick fresh batch at a moment's notice!
