These wings are the reason so many people in my Two Sleevers Facebook group ran out to buy air fryers. Crispy, salty, sweet and spicy with Korean chile paste--little bites of heaven! And, of course, very easy to make. If I were you, I'd inaugurate my air fryer with this super-simple recipe.

Ingredients

Wings:

2 pounds chicken wings

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

1 teaspoon black pepper or gochugaru (Korean red pepper) 

Sauce:

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)

1 tablespoon mayonnaise 

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 

1 tablespoon minced garlic 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey 

Kosher salt 

Serving:

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1/4 cup chopped scallions

Directions

Special equipment:
air fryer
  1. For the wings: Season the wings with the salt and pepper and place in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, for the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, mayonnaise, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, sugar, agave and a pinch of salt; set aside.  
  3. As you near the 20-minute mark, use a meat thermometer to check the meat. When the wings reach 160 degrees F, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour about half the sauce on the wings; toss to coat (serve the remaining sauce as a dip). 
  4. Return the wings to the air-fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes, until the sauce has glazed. 
  5. Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping.
