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
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
For the glaze
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
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.
