Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the wings in soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice for 30 minutes before coating them. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness. If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the wings at 200°C (400°F) for 40 minutes, turning halfway through. Adjust the chili paste and flakes to your spice preference for a milder version, especially for kids.
