Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup white sugar

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ⅔ cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Place wings in a large bowl. Drizzle oil over the top, sprinkle with salt, and stir until evenly combined. Place 1/2 of the wings in the air fryer basket, skin side down.

Step 3

Air fry wings for 10 minutes. Flip wings over using tongs and cook for 10 minutes more. Increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Flip wings over and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining wings.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine sugar, vinegar, water, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ketchup in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn heat off and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Place wings in a large bowl. Pour sauce over the top, toss to coat, and serve immediately.
