Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 red chili
  • 1 stalk lemongrass roughly chopped
  • q.s. salt to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender
  • Tongs or Spatula
  • Air Fryer
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, chili, and lemongrass. Blend until smooth, adjusting seasoning with salt if needed.
  2. Place chicken wings in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat and let sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Arrange wings in a single layer and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and caramelized.
  4. While wings are cooking, toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously until golden.
  5. Transfer wings to a platter and sprinkle with toasted peanuts, chopped chili, and green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

Consider substituting lemongrass with lemon zest for a similar flavor, or using honey instead of brown sugar for lighter sweetness. Reduce chili for less heat.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
To enhance flavor, drizzle sesame oil over the wings just before serving.
