Crispy, golden, and glazed in a sticky-sweet sauce, these air fryer wings deliver serious crowd-pleasing flavor without a single grain in sight. The turmeric and ginger rub gives the skin a gorgeous color and a warm, aromatic depth before the wings even hit the sauce. Coconut aminos stand in beautifully for traditional soy-based sauces, bringing that savory-sweet umami punch while keeping things completely grain-free — no wheat, no barley, no rye anywhere on the ingredient list. The arrowroot slurry thickens the glaze quickly and cleanly, so you get that glossy, restaurant-style coating without any flour-based thickeners. A squeeze of fresh lime and a scatter of cilantro at the end brighten everything up and make the platter look as good as it tastes. Whether you're cooking for someone with a grain sensitivity or just want a cleaner wing night, this recipe does not ask you to compromise on flavor or texture.

Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the melted coconut oil, sea salt, turmeric, and ground ginger until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for another 10–13 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a drumette (not touching bone) reads 165°F (74°C).
