4 servings
For the wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes, tips removed
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
For the glaze
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tipUse the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter. - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tipFor thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
For serving
- 2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the garlic-infused oil, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using) until evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding.
