Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
1½ cups soy sauce, divided
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
½ cup sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions

Place chicken wings in a large, shallow bowl and pour in ¾ cup soy sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Preheat an air fryer to 350°F (178°C) and grease the basket.
Place wings in the prepared air fryer basket and cook in the air fryer for 25 minutes.
Increase temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 5 minutes more.
Stir brown sugar, remaining ¾ cup soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a skillet over medium heat until sauce has reduced slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in cold water in a bowl and add slurry to the sauce, stirring until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Mealthy tip:

Make these chicken wings gluten free by using a wheat free soy sauce, such as tamari.

This recipe can be made with reduced sodium soy sauce if you want less sodium but still the flavor of soy sauce in the teriyaki.

Jamie Bell says:

I made this recipe using the gluten free substitute, tamari, for some friends that came over. We all loved the way it turned out. The air fryer is one of my favorite ways to make wings, and the sauce is really full of flavor. We topped it with toasted sesame seeds and served it egg rolls.

Brooke Prater says:

I wanted to cheat and use a bottle of teriyaki sauce but I'm so glad I didn't! I had all the ingredients on hand and it was super simple and easy to prepare. I doubled the batch and served them for some friends that came over. Finger licking good...
