Orange Chicken Wings
These wings have it all: sweet, tangy, and citrusy! They’re also super saucy, so if you prefer a less saucy wing, use 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings for a lighter bite. We’re also spilling the secret to crispy air fryer wing perfection: baking powder, to ensure that irresistible crunch without the heavy breading.
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs (675 g) chicken wings
- 1 pkg Sticky Orange Chicken Seasoning or General Tao Seasoning, divided
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1⁄2 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
Preparation
- Preheat air fryer to 400° F.
- In a large bowl, toss wings with 1 tbsp seasoning and baking powder; toss with oil. Air fry 13–15 min, or until cooked through, turning halfway. (You may need to air fry wings in 2 batches, depending on the size of your air fryer).
- Meanwhile, in Wok, whisk remaining seasoning, orange juice, soy sauce, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer until sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Add cooked chicken wings to Wok; toss with sauce until evenly coated. Sprinkle on toppings, if desired.
