Vietnamese Chicken Wings Air Fryer Recipe (Fish sauce wings)
These Vietnamese fish sauce wings are made in an air fryer with sweet chili garlic sauce - healthy, crispy, air-fried and 10 minutes to prep!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken wings
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
For the sweet chili garlic sauce:
- 1 whole serrano red chili pepper or 1-2 Thai chilies
- 0.1 oz clove garlic finely minced, about 2 small cloves
- 2 tbsp lime or key lime juice
- 2-2.5 tbsp peach jam keto honey, regular honey, or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp chopped cilantro or scallions, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Pat dry the wings. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to press the spices onto the wings so they adhere well.
- Place the wings in the fryer basket in a single layer and with some small gap in-between. Air fryer at 400°F (204 °C) for 24 minutes total or until golden crispy. Flip the wings after 12 minutes so they are cooked on both sides.
- In the meantime, make the sauce in a bowl.
- Place the wings over a serving plate and pour the sauce over right before serving. Garnish with more chopped herbs.
Notes
- No air fryer? Preheat the oven to 450F (425F convection). Place the wings over a wire rack lined with parchment. Bake for 30-40 minutes total. Rotate the sheet pan at half the baking point.
- To keep the wings crispy, only toss them with the sauce right before serving.
- The nutritional label is estimated with orange peach jam.
